SUMMARY. The purpose of the study is to assess the completeness of the statistical record of individual tick-borne infections.
Materials and methods. The results of long-term epidemiological surveillance of tick-borne infectious diseases were used, including data from official statistics, epidemiological investigations, field entomological and laboratory studies. Statistical methods of assessment and forecasting are applied.
The results. Manifestations of the epidemic process, clinical course, diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis (LB) in the Ternopil region were evaluated. Incidence indicators in individual districts and their dynamics during 2000-2021 were analyzed. The number of registered cases was compared with predicted statistical methods. The ratio of erythematous (EF) and non-erythematic forms (BEF) of LB was analyzed, territorial differences in diagnosis were revealed. Centrality is determined. The completeness of the record of risk events for Borrelia infection was assessed.
Levels of registered incidence of LB turned out to be lower than predicted. At the same time, the predicted number of undetected patients with BEF LB was higher than the number of undetected cases of EF.
Conclusion. The conducted assessment gives reason to consider the official statistical indicators of the incidence of LB to be lower than the real ones.
