The method includes determining a glycosylation profile of a protein whose glycosylation profile is associated with Lyme disease in a subject, and comparing the glycosylation profile of the protein with a predetermined glycosylation profile of the protein indicating free of Lyme disease or a predetermined glycosylation profile of the protein indicating Lyme disease. Further described herein is a method of treating and/or ameliorating Lyme disease in a subject. The method includes diagnosing Lyme disease in a subject and, if the subject is diagnosed to have Lyme disease, administering to the subject an effective amount of compound effective for treating Lyme disease. Further described herein is a method of evaluating a treatment for Lyme disease. The method includes comparing a glycosylation profile of the patient with glycosylation profiles associated with successful/unsuccessful treatments.
