RESUMO
The subject of this study is serological screening of blood and CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) samples for the presence of borrelial and ehrlichial antibodies. A total of 165 patients suspected to be at risk of Lyme disease were tested. Indirect immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay were used as diagnostic methods. Ehrlichial antibodies were detected in 36 (21.8%) patients. Borrelial antibodies were found in 70 samples (42.4%). The widening range of tick-borne diseases brings about the need for more data on these zoonoses.
