- Lyme Disease can produce a clinical picture identical to ALS.
- The incidence of ALS is very high in areas where Lyme Disease is endemic.
- Every patient with ALS must be properly tested for Lyme Disease.
- Lyme Disease can be successfully treated with antibiotics.
- Proper testing for Lyme Disease is very important.
- The screening Elisa Test is unreliable.
- The Western Blot is preferred.
- Make sure the Western Blot Test includes Bands #31 & #34 as they are very specific for Lyme Disease.
- Many Western Blot Tests omit Bands #31 & #34 and may give a false negative invalid result.
