The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of Lyme disease as a cause of annular erythematous eruptions in patients attending the National Skin Centre. Serum samples of 72 patients presenting with annular erythema were tested for syphilis, and antibodies against Berrelia burgdorferi by haemagglutination, indirect immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent tests. All the serum tested were negative for syphilis serology and antibody against B. burgdorferi. It would appear that the Lyme disease is not a cause of annular erythema in Singapore.
本研究的目的是确定在国家皮肤中心就诊的患者中，莱姆病作为环状红斑病因的患病率。对72例出现环状红斑的患者的血清样本进行梅毒检测，并通过血凝试验、间接免疫荧光和酶联免疫吸附试验检测抗伯氏疏螺旋体抗体。所有检测的血清梅毒血清学和抗伯氏疏螺旋体抗体均为阴性。在新加坡，莱姆病似乎不是环状红斑的病因。
