Abstract
The paper presents the first results of the epidemiological, clinical and serological research of Lyme boreliosis in the region of Slavonia and Barania during 1989. The investigation included 68 patients, aged 2 to 68 years, with an erythema on the site of tick bite. The incubation period stretched between 3 and 52 days, but most frequently it was 14 days long. The serums of the patients were tested by the method of indirect immunofluorescence on Borelia burgdorferi. The titer of antibodies of 1:80 and higher was considered significant. A positive serological responce was indicated in 13.6% of the patients. Infections by tisk bites were registered in 10 out of 14 districts in Slavonia and Barania.
