Diagnosis of Lyme-associated uveitis: value of serological testing in a tertiary centre.

CONCLUSION: The seroprevalence of B. burgdorferi among our patients with uveitis was 7.9% compared with6%â€"8.5% in the general French population which leads to a low predictive value of serological testing. Its use should be reserved for patients with unexplained uveitis, an exposure history, systemic findings suggestive of Lyme disease and steroids resistance.
