| Abstract | The performance of 4 screening tests and 10 blot assays for the serologic diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis in a Belgian population was evaluated. A total of 196 sera were tested: 36 Lyme borreliosis at different stages of the disease, 50 healthy blood donors, and 110 representing various clinical circumstances. The DiaSorin Liaison and Euroimmun Anti-Borrelia screening tests were evaluated. The tested blot assays were Virotech Borrelia LINE tests WE222, WE225, and WE224, as well as Mikrogen recomLine Borrelia and Viramed ViraStripe. The specificity of IgG was acceptable for the different assays. For IgM, DiaSorin Liaison Borrelia IgM Quant, Mikrogen recomLine, and Viramed ViraStripe lacked specificity. Interestingly, a higher rate of falsely reactive samples was observed in the group of patients suffering from malaria. Serological diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis remains challenging; assays should be evaluated in the population where they are intended to be used. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
