Diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis by urine polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) has been recognized as having better diagnostic sensitivity in
patients with erythema migrans than serological methods. We made
serial tests with 192 urine specimens from 70 patients with erythema
migrans and 60 urine specimens from 21 patients with acrodermatitis
chronica atrophicans to evaluate the course of positive urine PCR
after antibiotic treatment. Before treatment, urine samples from
patients with erythema migrans showed a positive PCR in 27/34
samples (79%), and those from patients with acrodermatitis chronica
atrophicans in 7/11 (63%). The specificity of bands was proven by
hybridization with GEN-ETI-KTM-DEIA kit in 40/41 samples. Borrelia
DNA in urine decreased gradually within the observation period of
one year in both patients with erythema migrans and acrodermatitis
chronica atrophicans, and persisted without clinical symptoms in
4/45 patients with erythema migrans (8%) after 12 months.
Urine PCR
can serve as a diagnostic method in early Lyme borreliosis and also
in seropositive patients with unclear clinical symptoms.
