Serologic tests for Lyme borreliosis and for syphilis were performed on 75 patients seen in a 1-week period at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. The incident of syphilis was 8% and of Lyme borreliosis 3% in this study in a nonendemic area. The most common cause for a high titer serologic response for Lyme borreliosis in this group was a prior Treponema pallidum infection. The importance of getting VDRL, FTA-ABS, Lyme IFA, and Lyme ELISA tests in all suspected cases was emphasized.
对在迈阿密巴斯科姆·帕尔默眼科研究所一周内就诊的75名患者进行了莱姆病螺旋体病和梅毒的血清学检测。在这个非流行地区的研究中，梅毒的发病率为8%，莱姆病螺旋体病为3%。该组中莱姆病螺旋体病高滴度血清学反应的最常见原因是既往梅毒螺旋体感染。强调了在所有疑似病例中进行性病研究实验室试验（VDRL）、荧光密螺旋体抗体吸收试验（FTA-ABS）、莱姆病间接荧光抗体试验（Lyme IFA）和莱姆病酶联免疫吸附试验（Lyme ELISA）检测的重要性。
