Pathogenicity: Certain species of wall-less spirochetes, such as Borrelia burgdorferi (the causative agent of Lyme disease) and Treponema pallidum (the causative agent of syphilis), are pathogenic to humans and can cause significant health issues if left untreated. These bacteria have evolved mechanisms to evade the host immune system and can cause a range of symptoms and complications.
Disease Spectrum: Wall-less spirochetes are associated with a spectrum of diseases, ranging from localized infections to systemic diseases affecting multiple organ systems. For example, Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi can lead to skin rash, arthritis, neurological symptoms, and cardiac abnormalities if untreated. Syphilis caused by Treponema pallidum can progress through primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages, affecting various organs including the skin, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.
Transmission: Wall-less spirochetes are typically transmitted to humans through the bite of infected arthropods (e.g., ticks for Borrelia burgdorferi) or through sexual contact (e.g., Treponema pallidum for syphilis). Prevention strategies focus on avoiding contact with infected vectors, practicing safe sex, and using protective measures in endemic areas.
Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of infections caused by wall-less spirochetes often involves a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests (e.g., serological assays, polymerase chain reaction), and imaging studies. Treatment typically involves antibiotics specific to the causative agent, with early diagnosis and treatment being crucial for successful outcomes.
Prevention: Prevention of diseases caused by wall-less spirochetes involves measures such as avoiding tick-infested areas, using insect repellents, wearing protective clothing, conducting regular tick checks, practicing safe sex, and seeking prompt medical attention if symptoms suggestive of infection develop.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
