摘要: Two hundred and fifty-three farmers forest workers 249 clerks from south-west Sweden were recruited to a cross-sectional seroprevalence study find out if individuals working outdoors are more prone acquire Borrelia burgdorferi infection than indoor undiagnosed cases of Lyme borreliosis. The participants answered questionnaire blood specimens collected estimate the prevalence antibodies B. in each group. Sera analysed with an enzyme-linked immunoassay technique determine IgG flagellum. was 7.6% vs. 5.3% (adjusted odds ratio \[age, sex] 1.2 \[95% confidence interval 0.5-2.8]). One case borreliosis diagnosed. positive predictive value antibody test estimated be 3% studied populations. is low endemicity probably not occupat...
