Disease relevance of Lyme Disease

 

High impact information on Lyme Disease

  • Single-dose doxycycline for the prevention of Lyme disease [6].
  • In cases of suspected Lyme disease, culture of skin lesions, polymerase-chain-reaction testing, or serologic testing was done [7].
  • Successful parenteral penicillin therapy of established Lyme arthritis [8].
  • In a double-blind placebo-controlled trial carried out from 1980 to 1982, 20 patients with established Lyme arthritis were assigned treatment with 2.4 million U of intramuscular benzathine penicillin weekly for three weeks (total, 7.2 million U) and 20 patients received saline [8].
  • Individuals with treatment-resistant Lyme arthritis, but not other forms of arthritis, generated responses to OspA, hLFA-1, and their highly related peptide epitopes [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Lyme Disease

 

Biological context of Lyme Disease

 

Anatomical context of Lyme Disease

 

Gene context of Lyme Disease

  • The preferential induction by B. burgdorferi of IL-1 beta over IL-1ra is an example of excess agonist over antagonist synthesis induced by a microbial pathogen, and may contribute to the destructive lesion of Lyme arthritis [23].
  • Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, is a potent inducer of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), a cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis [18].
  • To assess the role of Ncf1 in Lyme arthritis, we introgressed Bb2Bb3 from severely arthritic C3H/He mice onto mildly arthritic C57BL/6 mice [22].
  • Murine Lyme arthritis development mediated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity [24].
  • These data indicate that TLR2 facilitates the inflammatory events associated with Lyme arthritis [25].
  • Patients with antibiotic-refractory Lyme arthritis have high synovial fluid levels of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines, especially CXCL9 and IFNgamma, throughout the illness [26].
