Résumé

We have developed targeted proteomics in the context of Lyme borreliosis as a new direct diagnostic tool for detecting Borrelia proteins in the skin of patients with erythema migrans. If satisfactory, this proteomic technique could be used in addition to culture and/or PCR for disseminated infections, where Borrelia detection is essential to demonstrate active infection. In these infections, diagnosis is indirect and relies mainly on serology.
