Dr. Shikhman and Neenah, in conjunction with The University of Wisconsin-Madison and Galaxy Diagnostics, publish article in Microbiology Spectrum: Antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi and Bartonella species in serum and synovial fluid from people with rheumatic diseases The results of the study suggest that synovial fluid could be a useful sample for the clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. Data shows that antibodies to B. burgdorferi, but not Bartonella spp., are more commonly found in synovial fluid than serum of patients with joint effusion. Since Lyme arthritis is a common—and sometimes difficult to diagnose—rheumatic disease, improving diagnostic capabilities is of utmost importance.
