Here is something similar that I "Googled"...from a Brorson work
entitled: "Association between MS and Cystic Structures in
Cerebrospinal Fluid"...

"We found that cysts which are produced by inoculating B. burgdorferi
in CSF at 37 C can be PCR negative using conventional DNA extraction
and OspA primers (unpublished observation).

This is either because the cyst wall inhibits the entrance to the
genome or because the genomes of spirochetes have been changed. We have
also to keep in mind that PCR detection of B. burgdorferi spirochetes
often may give false-negative results".
