Given the increasing interest in Lyme borreliosis in our community, and the lack of epidemiological studies in our country, we have considered convenient to analyze the presence of anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies in a group of workmen who we have considered at high risk since they carry out their everyday work in an environment infested by ticks. Significant antibody titers (= or greater than 1/128) are found in 38% of cases versus 0% in the control group. The significance of these results in relation to the presence or not of compatible clinical manifestations and tick bites are studied.
鉴于我们社区对莱姆病的关注度日益增加，且我国缺乏流行病学研究，我们认为分析一组高危工人中抗伯氏疏螺旋体抗体的存在情况是合适的。这些工人由于在蜱虫滋生的环境中从事日常工作，我们将其视为高危人群。在38%的病例中发现了显著的抗体滴度（=或大于1/128），而对照组的这一比例为0%。我们研究了这些结果与是否存在相符的临床表现及蜱虫叮咬之间的关系。
