To determine the usefulness of quantitative band\u2010intensity analysis of Western blots for the diagnosis of Lyme arthritis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. IgG Western blots for antibodies to <jats:italic>Borrelia burgdorferi<\/jats:italic> were performed on sera from 39 patients with Lyme arthritis, 30 patients with syphilis, 50 patients with connective tissue diseases, and 10 healthy individuals. Band positions and band intensities were calculated using a computerized image analysis system.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Lyme arthritis patients had more bands and higher\u2010intensity bands than did non\u2010Lyme patients. The presence of at least 2 bands of moderate to high intensity (&gt;40 optical units) or at least 5 bands of lower intensity (&gt;20 optical units) was over 90% sensitive and 100% specific for the diagnosis of Lyme arthritis. A 60\u2010kd band was present in all Lyme arthritis patients. The presence of an 83\u2010, 39\u2010, 21\u2010, or 18\u2010kd band was highly specific for Lyme arthritis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>.
