The aim of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity of a 16S ribosomal RNA-based PCR on clinical specimens from patients with erythema migrans (EM) and neuroborreliosis and to compare the sensitivities with those obtained by in vitro culture and serological testing. A semiquantitative detection system, representing the input amount of specific DNA and thus the density of spirochetes in clinical specimens, indicated the preferred clinical sample to obtain for PCR testing.
