Various studies in the United States and Europe have established human leucocyte antigens (HLA) Cw3, DR2 and DR4 as risk factors for manifest Borrelia burgdorferi infection or the development of chronic courses of Lyme disease. Other studies failed to confirm these findings. In the present study the frequencies of HLA A, B, Cw and DR were analysed in 283 persons from Austria and Germany with manifest B....
