We assessed the impact of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity on recombinant antigen-based Lyme serology. We compared the IgG ELISA+LIA (line immunoassay) reactivity of anti-Helicobacter IgG positive and negative samples. The ELISA S/Co values and LIA band numbers were identical. Our results suggest that Helicobacter seropositivity lacks an apparent effect on Lyme disease test reactivity.

幽门螺杆菌血清阳性对重组、基于抗原的莱姆血清学的潜在影响

我们评估了幽门螺杆菌血清阳性对基于重组抗原的莱姆血清学的影响。我们比较了抗螺杆菌IgG 阳性和阴性样品的 IgG ELISA+LIA（线免疫测定）反应性。ELISA S/Co 值和 LIA 条带数相同。我们的结果表明，螺杆菌血清阳性对莱姆病检测反应性没有明显影响。
