We assessed the impact of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity on recombinant antigen-based Lyme serology. We compared the IgG ELISA+LIA (line immunoassay) reactivity of anti-Helicobacter IgG positive and negative samples. The ELISA S/Co values and LIA band numbers were identical. Our results suggest that Helicobacter seropositivity lacks an apparent effect on Lyme disease test reactivity.
