I read it and blogged about it. I think it's useful information, and would be interesting to reproduce study - but I think it is highly invasive and risky to use a lumbar puncture when regular blood tests are much lower risk.

My biggest problem with it is if the test is used to support a hypothesis that the patient does suffer from "Post-Lyme Disease Syndrome" rather than consider the possibility of current infection.

You know what? I just thought of this and need to add it to my blog post comments section:

What we need is to push for research where we compare the CNS proteins from someone with "nPTLDS" and someone with an acute Lyme disease infection and see how much those proteins overlap.

I'm wondering how different they are.

Then take measurements with test subjects over time to see if they change protein profiles.

I just pity the poor test subjects... LP are no fun!

Great. Any studies that show there is something REAL and not imagined by "crazy" Lyme patients is good.

There are lots already but the pile is getting harder to ignore...the more evidence, the better.

migs,

The data that is provided is just that: data.

What comes next is how it is going to be used to correlate it and cross-correlate it with other data in order to support or refute certain outcomes.
