Sažetak
In Croatia as tourist country, it must be of some importance to study infective diseases (in this mountain-seaside tourist region) because of this importance and extensive migration of people, especially in summer.
Purpose: Correlation between microbiological, infectological and epidemiological characteristics of Lyme borreliosis.
Methods: Following up the clinical condition of patients in hospitals in Rijeka, we did enzyme immunoassays (EIA, Behring) of Borrelia burgdoferi IgG and IgM from blood and CSF of 700 clinically suspect examinees from 1994 to the end of 1998. We presented graphical distributions according to criteria of age of examinees, seasonal variations of incidence and calendar year.
Results: In the surveillance period of 4 years, we found:
about 50% serologically blood positives
about 10% serologically positive CSF
higher prevalence of IgG than IgM reactive blood tests;
statistical significances among age classes;
seasonal variation in favor of higher incidence in late summer and autumn
increasing incidence from year to year.
Conclusion. At Croatian side of Northern Adriatic the institution of Rijeka Public Health Service surveys infective diseases. Despite spirocehtte peculiarities of Borrelia EIA as opposed to regular schemes of seroconversion i any other particularly viral EIA, one still can find some indication of endemic (sub) territories and populations at risk and this may help to monitor changing epidemiology.
