[Antibody formation dynamics in a patient with Central Asian tick-borne borreliosis]

Antibody titres were examined in patients suffering from Central Asian tick-borne borreliosis by means of indirect immunofluorescence. In acute period of the disease and in early convalescence period a rapid increase of antibody titres was observed; they were still increasing even after clinical recovery. The maximum titres (1:320) were marked in 1.5 months after the onset of the disease. Decrease of antibody titres began in 2-3 months after the peak of the disease. Antibodies in relatively low titres are detectable at least up to the 11th month of convalescence.
