Interessant is wat de volgende conclusies over de 'Phelix Phage Borrelia test' gaan worden.

Tick-borne Illness Campaign Scotland - Scottish Government Round-table Meeting on Lyme Disease: 22nd June 2021; Bron http://www.ticscotland.org.uk/news/roundtable-20210622Our second Scottish Government round-table meeting took place this week. This time we talked about Lyme testing and treatment and touched on research. Read our report here: http://www.ticscotland.org.uk/news/roundtable-20210622
The minutes from the first meeting are being finalised and we have permission to distribute the final version.
Thanks once again to those doctors and other healthcare professionals who give up their time to speak up for patients.

Stand van zaken de 'Phelix Phage Borrelia test' is (pas) in fase 2. 'proof of concept'; Bron viewtopic.php?f=38&p=27337#p27337
Het ontwikkelen van een nieuwe test vraagt veel tijd en geld in verband met de te nemen stappen van 1. proof of principle,
2. proof of concept, 3. onafhankelijke validatie, 4. implementatie.

Om die redenen is zowel ‘specificiteit' (dat het om de Borrelia bacterie gaat en welke) als ‘het aantonen van actieve infectie’ van deze test zeer dubieus. Zie ook de wetenschappelijke publicatie van 15 maart 2021.
De fagentest is een kostbare, nog weinig gangbare test en verkeert nog in een experimentele fase. Voor de Borrelia bacterie wordt deze test alleen aangeboden door een laboratorium in België en niet vergoed door zorgverzekeraars. De test is niet gevalideerd en er is een reëele kans op fout-positieve resultaten....De fagentest staat dus nog in de kinderschoenen, maar wordt al wel via labs in het buitenland aan patiënten aangeboden. Het ontbreken van bewijs voor de betrouwbaarheid van de testuitslag wordt vaak niet of nauwelijks aan de patiënten medegedeeld..
..De fagentest kan dus wat ons betreft op dit moment dus niet helpen bij het stellen van de diagnose Lymeziekte of B. miyamotoi-ziekte..

..SLDTRL is committed to investigating new testing methods and technologies and is constantly aiming to adapt and improve the service provided. However, as the NICE guidelines state, tests should only be used if they have been sufficiently validated, and this validation should include peer-reviewed published evidence on the test methodology, its relation to Lyme disease and independent reports of performance. To their knowledge, there are no other tests available that fulfil these criteria..

..The Phelix Phage Borrelia test is a new test, developed in conjunction with Leicester University,which is designed to test for bacterial presence and is not dependent 2on host antibody production5. We would like to see this test assessed for routine use in Lyme disease testing in Scotland...

..As stated in previous submissions, only 5 of the 300 known species of Borrelia are currently tested for in Scotland. Borrelia miyamotoi is known to exist in Scotland and scientists believe it is responsible for a significant proportion of illness *5. SLDTRL’s test for Borrelia miyamotoi is not ISO accredited or routinely used, leaving many patients undiagnosed. This may also be the case for other recently discovered species. There is also strong evidence that many Lyme disease patients are also infected with tick-borne co-infections, but SLDTRL has no ISO accredited tests any co-infections..*5 is verwijzing naar '2nd European Crypto-Infections Conference, Dublin, Ireland, 26th-27th Sept 2020'; Bron https://www.lymeresourcecentre.com/rese ... rypto-2020 Agenda; Bron https://www.lymeresourcecentre.com/syst ... v%2035.pdf
