Abstract

In order to determine the prevalence of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi in the area of Sevilla, we have studied 300 healthy subjects of different age and sex groups by means of IIF. Of the 300 studied sera, only 4% had antibodies at titers greater than or equal to 1:16, a fact that shows the low prevalence of antibodies against this microorganism in the area. Such titers were mainly found among subjects over 40 years (p less than 0.001).
