Concurrent Incidence of Antibodies against Toxoplas- ma gondii and Borrelia burgdorferi in Patients with Suspected Toxoplasmosis or Borreliosis
Souběžný výskyt protilátek proti Toxoplasma gondii a Borrelia burgdorferi u pacientů s podezřením na onemocnění toxoplazmózou nebo boreliózou
V letech 1995–1997 byla zjišťována frekvence souběhu protilátek proti Toxoplasma gondii a Borrelia burgdorferi ve dvou souborech pacientů s odlišnými klinickými příznaky. U 485 osob bylo vysloveno podezření na kožní formu (erythema migrans) boreliózy, 877 osob mělo klinické příznaky svědčící pro uzlinovou formu toxoplazmózy. Soubor 485 osob s podezřením na boreliózu se skládal ze 199 (41 %) osob s diagnózou potvrzenou sérologickým nálezem a 286 (59 %) osob sérologicky negativních. Při souběžném vyšetření na toxoplazmózu byl zaznamenán statisticky významně vyšší výskyt antitoxoplazmových protilátek u pacientů s podezřením na boreliózu, ale bez prokázaných protilátek proti Borrelia burgdorferi (29 %), než ve skupině osob se souběhem obou typů protilátek (11,5 %), p

Overview
In 1995–1997 the frequency of concurrent antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii and Borrelia burgdorferi was assessed in two groups of patients with different clinical symptoms. In 485 subjects the dermatological form (erythema migrans) of borreliosis was suspected, 877 subjects had clinical symptoms suggesting the nodular form of toxoplasmosis. The group of 485 subjects with suspected borreliosis comprised 199 (41%) subjects with the diagnosis confirmed by the serological finding and 286 (59%) subjects were serologically negative. During concurrent examination for toxoplasmosis a statistically significantly higher incidence of antito - xoplasmatic antibodies was recorded in patients with suspected borreliosis but without detected antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi (29%) than in the group with both types of antibodies (11.5%), p
