The primary clinical-anamnestic and laboratory data on 1,062 cases, registered in Udmurtia in 1965-1968 and caused by the bites of taiga ticks (ixodes persulcatus), were retrospectively analyzed. The study revealed that not less than 27% of these cases could be regarded as cases of Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB); formerly they were classified with tick-born encephalitis (TBE) or diseases of unclear etiology. The spread of ITBB on the territory of the Udmurt Republic was shown to be similar to that of TBE.
对1965年至1968年在乌德穆尔特登记的、由针叶林蜱(全沟硬蜱)叮咬引起的1062例病例的主要临床病史和实验室数据进行了回顾性分析。研究发现,这些病例中不少于27%可被视为全沟硬蜱传播型莱姆病(ITBB);以前它们被归类为蜱传脑炎(TBE)或病因不明的疾病。结果表明,ITBB在乌德穆尔特共和国境内的传播情况与TBE相似。
