摘要 The sera of 180 human samples were tested for the presence of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi using the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technique. Out of 180 sero-samples, 46 (25.55%) were positive. Females of the age range 18-35 years had the highest rate of sero-positive samples 14 (38.88%), while the highest percentage of sero-negative samples was found in males of the age range 50-80 years. The other sero-positive samples were: 6 (26.08%), 6 (25%) and 3 (11.53%) in males of ages between 18-35, 35-50 and 50-80 years, respectively, and 11 (29.72%) and 6 (17.64%) in females in the age ranges 35-50 and 50-80 years, respectively. The mean concentration of Anti- B. burgdorferi antibody was higher (16.7 U/mL) when compared with mean concentration of normal value (5.5 U/mL), P 〈 0.001.
