Potential lyme biomarker?

What a mess. They abbreviate Lyme Disease as "LD", then only use LA after that. Presumably they mean it to be Lyme Arthritis, but it looks like no one has proof-read it, much less reviewed the article.

It would have been good if they had included a non-Lyme arthritis group, which is why I said ´potential´ and added a question mark.

I was confused, as well about the switching of abbreviations.

It would be great if there was a definitive biomarker. My question would be if you would find this same marker before lyme induced arthritis set in.

So maybe a third control group of those with lyme at different stages?
