This study investigated the seroprevalence of antibodies against Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Berlin/Brandenburg, north-eastern Germany. During 1994-2001, 422 sera from patients with proven tick-exposure (specimens with antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi) were compared with 249 control sera. Using indirect fluorescent antibody testing, significantly more positive samples were detected among Borrelia antibody-positive specimens (4.5%, 95% CI 2.5-6.5%) than among controls (1.2%, 95% CI 0.5-1.9%; p < 0.05). While six (2.2%, 95% CI 1.3-3.1%) samples were positive among Borrelia antibody-positive sera between 1994 and 1997, 13 (8.7%, 95% CI 6.9-10.5%) were positive between 1998 and 2001 (p < 0.01), indicating an uneven annual seroprevalence.
