pubmed:abstractText |
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) laboratory tests are frequently collected to help differentiate Lyme meningitis from other causes of aseptic meningitis. Previous studies using Lyme CSF polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have yielded varied results (sensitivity between 10 and 90%). No studies have specifically examined the diagnostic utility of Lyme CSF-PCR in North American children with Lyme meningitis.
