Sue O'Connell and
the EUCALB, which disclaims their
contribution to Medical Negligence.
Sue cites EUCALB
criteria for seropositivity here
(below), which is 5 of 8 bands (and
which is total nonsense)

95 to 98%
Specificity for ACA and arthritis at the
late stage is nonsensical, since those
are hypersensitivity reactions.
You want 95% ACCURACY, which is executed
via detecttion of Borrelial specific flagellar
elements (see the actionLyme
Homepage
for the methods). Sue O'Connell's ass
will be politico-medico-legal GRASS.

Steere: (Patient
12) (Persisting in the brain past
treatment)
Steere,
patient 12
http://www.acponline.org/journals/annals/15oct94/lyme.htm
"Patient 12 had had high fever,
meningeal symptoms, and subsequent
arthritis in 1982. She was noted
to have a positive serologic test
result for Lyme disease 4 years later
and was treated with 2 weeks
of parenteral penicillin. She later
developed a progressive speech disorder,
bradykinesia, and
abnormal ocular motor function.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain
showed scattered white
matter lesions in the hemispheres and
pons, and she was diagnosed with
supranuclear palsy. Lumbar
puncture showed no selective
concentration of antibody in the spinal
fluid. Nevertheless, she was
re-treated with 2 weeks of parenteral
ceftriaxone in 1989 that had no effect
on her neurologic
symptoms. During the time of
observation, this patient died. At
autopsy, lymphoid mononuclear
cells were observed surrounding the
intracerebral vessels in one section.
Using Dieterle silver stain,
a spirochete was present in the
cortex and another was exterior to a
leptomeningeal vessel.

Background: Although Borreliosis is a
European Disease (Willy
Burgdorfer was a spirochetologist
from Switzerland,
before he came America-- Sorry I don't
have more of a bio on him), with
also the
advent of the Dole-Bayh act in
America, the understanding of disease
changed in Europe
as well. The European version
of the Disease-Spin-Machine, the
ALDF.com, is the EUCALB.
