During 1979 and 1980, 757 sera were tested for the presence of anti-R. conori antibodies by immunofluorescence; 99 sera were positive. The origin of 28 seropositive cases was outside of continental France, 45 cases come from Southern regions of France, but 26 cases from the North of France. Cases of the first two groups showed mostly symptoms of spotted fever and the titers of the sera were increasing or single high. Cases from North of France presented only cutaneous lesions resembling erythema migrant and serotiters were always low and invariable. Today such seroreactions must be considered as paraspecific but a working hypothesis is discussed.
1979年至1980年期间，采用免疫荧光法对757份血清进行检测，以确定是否存在抗康氏立克次体抗体；99份血清呈阳性。28例血清阳性病例来自法国本土以外地区，45例来自法国南部地区，但26例来自法国北部。前两组病例大多表现为斑疹热症状，血清滴度呈上升趋势或单次升高。来自法国北部的病例仅表现出类似移行性红斑的皮肤损害，血清滴度始终较低且无变化。如今，这种血清反应必须被视为非特异性的，但对此正在讨论一个可行的假设。
