title: [Value of serodiagnosis of Lyme disease in the evaluation of uveitis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study was designed to assess results of Lyme serology among all the specific tests routinely performed for exploring uveitis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-seven patients examined for uveitis had a serological diagnosis of Lyme's disease with haemagglutination test and ELISA IgG test. This group included 34 patients with unclassified uveitis. Thirty-seven healty individuals served as control subjects.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no statistical difference between the three groups in terms of positive serological diagnosis occurrence: control subjects (13.5%), patients with classified uveitis (12.1%) and patients with unclassified uveitis (11.8%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It appears to be more adequate to reserve this serological test for Lyme's disease for patients who have a suggestive history or additional symptoms.
