In order to evaluate the seroprevalence of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in western Austria, sera from 357 Tyrolean blood donors were tested by an immunofluorescence assay. To assess the concomitant seroreactivity against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, sera were further investigated by enzyme-linked immunoassay and Western blot. Thirty-two sera (9.0%) showed antibodies to Anaplasma phagocytophilum at a titre of 1:128 or higher, and 30 (8.4%) were seroreactive against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Infection with these two pathogens seems to occur in all Tyrolean districts except Landeck, the most upstream district of the Inn River Valley.
为评估奥地利西部人类粒细胞埃立克体病的血清流行率，采用免疫荧光法检测了357名蒂罗尔献血者的血清。为评估对广义伯氏疏螺旋体的伴随血清反应性，采用酶联免疫吸附测定和蛋白质印迹法对血清进行了进一步检测。32份血清（9.0%）显示抗嗜吞噬细胞无形体抗体效价为1:128或更高，30份血清（8.4%）对广义伯氏疏螺旋体呈血清反应性。除因河河谷最上游的兰德克区外，这两种病原体的感染似乎在蒂罗尔的所有地区均有发生。
