Author(s)
Chronic Lyme disease is predicated by an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi via tick vector. B. burgdorferi has
been extensively researched with regard to its genome and cell biology.
There are many unique characteristics to the bacteria itself; however,
serological diagnostics and diagnosis based on symptoms can be
complicated and potentially misleading. Other promising diagnostics were
also evaluated in this review. Treatment of the chronic Lyme disease
can be complicated and at times ineffective. The purpose of this review
is to examine B. burgdorferi from a biological and clinical perspective.
