Is there research linking antiphospholipid syndrome to lyme disease?!


Question:
Answers:
Lyme disease is caused by a parasite carried in deer ticks. The disease itself is autoimmune in nature, but requires pre-infection with the bug borrelia burgdorferi.

Anti-phospholipid is another autoimmune condition related mostly to lupus. As a component of anti-phospholipid, patients generate an antibody called anti-caridiolipin which is also present in about 40% of patients with Lyme disease. Although the two conditions have this in common, they are not the same.
