    Abstract:
    In this report we describe the use of a newly developed immunofluorescence technique performed with living spirochetes to detect serum antibody to B. burgdorferi s.l. in a case of early Lyme borreliosis. The immunofluorescence method used (surface immunofluorescence assay: SIFA) proved useful in the serological evaluation of suspected cases of Lyme disease.
