Abstract
A total of 769 adult neurological patients hospitalised in clinics and hospitals situated in the Lublin region (eastern Poland) were examined during the years 1997-2000 with ELISA test for the presence of anti-Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato antibodies. A statististically significant (p=0.0422) relationship was found between the clinically confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and the positive serologic reaction with Borrelia antigen. Ten out 26 patients with multiple sclerosis (38.5%) showed positive serologic reaction to Borrelia, whereas among the total number of examined neurological patients the frequency of positive findings was twice as low (19.4%). The result suggests that multiple sclerosis may be often associated with Borrelia infection.
Tien van de 26 patienten met MS hadden een positieve Elisa test voor borrelia b. sl.
Hoe zouden de resultaten zijn geweest wanneer er een meer sensitievere test zoals de ltt voor borreliose was gebruikt?
Of de test van dr. Lee? (waar het CDC ook mee werkt)

Maar ja, die test was er denk ik nog niet in het jaar 2000
