“…In addition, seropositivity does not ensure that the current clinical problem is necessarily due to Lyme disease (2), since a small percent of the population living in an endemic area may be seropositive but not have Lyme disease (20). Finally, seropositivity may persist after successful therapy for Lyme disease (21).…”
