Comparison of Borrelia-LTT in Patients with Early Versus Late Borreliosis Manifestations

Early Manifestations (n = 140), Before Therapy SI > 5		n	(%)
after antibiotic therapy	SI < 2	109	(77.8)
	SI >2 < 3	20	(14.3)
	SI >3 <5	9	(6.4)
	SI >5	2	(1.5)
Late Manifestations (n= 90), Before Treatment SI > 5		n	(%)
after antibiotic therapy	SI < 2	20	(223)
	SI >2 < 3	28	(31.0)
	SI >3 <5	32	(35.6)
	SI > 5	10	(11.1)

(SI <2 =negative; SI >2<3 = borderline, SI >3<5 = weak positive; SI>5 = positive)
