Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20251204/ “We have a lot of new tools” to explore, adds Dr. Fallon, who directs Columbia University’s new Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases Research Center, funded by the advocacy groups Time for Lyme and the Lyme Disease Association. “Science is going to bridge the gap.” Among the research: * A newer antibody test seems to indicate when antibiotics are working in early Lyme stages, offering the possibility of tracking treatment response. * Hunting markers of active infection, including bits of Lyme-related protein in the blood or spinal fluid. * Fallon is using brain imaging to try to distinguish when Lyme penetrates the nervous system. _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
