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
