The natural history of asymptomatic seroconversion to Borrelia burgdorferi has been unclear. We report here, on the basis of a post hoc assessment, the frequency and outcome of asymptomatic seroconversion to B. burgdorferi in participants of a large Lyme disease vaccine trial. We show that infection with B. burgdorferi may be asymptomatic but that asymptomatic infection is unusual in the United States.
无症状血清转化为伯氏疏螺旋体的自然病史一直不清楚。在此，我们基于一项事后评估报告了大型莱姆病疫苗试验参与者中无症状血清转化为伯氏疏螺旋体的频率和结果。我们表明，伯氏疏螺旋体感染可能无症状，但在美国无症状感染并不常见。
