Diagnostic Performance of C6 Enzyme Immunoassay for Lyme Arthritis

Written by Global Lyme Alliance | Jan 28, 2020 4:50:45 PM

In Lyme disease endemic areas, initial management of children with arthritis can be challenging because diagnostic tests take several days to return results, leading to potentially unnecessary invasive procedures.
