The natural history of asymptomatic seroconversion to Borrelia
burgdorferi has been unclear. We report here, on the basis of a post
hoc assessment, the frequency and outcome of asymptomatic
seroconversion to B. burgdorferi in participants of a large Lyme
disease vaccine trial. We show that infection with B. burgdorferi may
be asymptomatic but that asymptomatic infection is unusual in the
United States.
