[Epidemiologic characteristics and serologic findings in erythema migrans].
Our three-year research covered 417 patients with erythema migrans, of both sexes and all age groups. Among them 87.3% had a history of tick bite. Average attachment of tick to a patients skin was two days. Diameter of erythematous lesions was 1-50 cm (with an average of 15.1 cm). Magnitude of the lesion does not correlate with the further development of the Lyme disease. IFA test detected antibodies against Borreliae burgdorferi in 27.0% of our patients.
