Antibiotics are effective during early stages of the disease, and a vaccine called LYMErix is now available.
The company says the test has near Western blot accuracy in an ELISA, has no reactivity with Lymerix Lyme vaccine sera, is more sensitive in detection of antibodies in early and late Lyme disease than other kits, and eliminates the majority of other ELISA's false positives at the screening step.
Given as three injections over a year's time, LYMErix is 76 percent effective, and minimal side effects have been reported.
