Abstract

We present the first cases of Lyme disease found in Italy. The diagnosis was based on clinical and laboratory data. The antigen used for indirect immunofluorescence (I.I.F.) was kindly supplied to us by Prof. R. Ackermann (Köln). Reciprocal titer was 64 in five patients, 128 in six, 256 in three and 512 in one. The patients came either from the Eastern Ligurian Coast or the Trieste Karst: these are consequently the first two Italian areas where Lyme disease has been recognized up to the present.

摘要

我们报告了在意大利发现的首例莱姆病病例。诊断基于临床和实验室数据。用于间接免疫荧光（I.I.F.）的抗原由R. 阿克曼教授（科隆）慷慨提供给我们。五名患者的抗体效价为64，六名患者为128，三名患者为256，一名患者为512。这些患者要么来自利古里亚东海岸，要么来自的里雅斯特喀斯特地区：因此，这是迄今为止意大利首次确认莱姆病的两个地区。
