Tutkimuksessa kymmenellä huimauksesta kärsivällä henkilöllä oli positiivinen vasta-ainetestitulos. Heillä kaikilla esiintyi voimakasta huimausta. (Suom. huom. Testien epäluotettavuudesta johtuen useammatkin tutkimusryhmän 73:sta huimauksesta kärsivistä ovat voineet sairastaa borrelioosia.)

73 patients with vertigo were studied regarding serum antibodies to
Borrelia spirochete antigen, using an indirect immunofluorescence method.
Ten patients (14%) had serological evidence of Borrelia infection. All 10 patients had severe, incapacitating vertigo. Four of the Borrelia patients had positional vertigo and all 10 had positional nystagmus when tested using ENG. Five of them had unilateral caloric weakness. Five patients had abnormal oculomotor tests. Borrelia infection is an etiological factor which should be considered in patients suffering from vertigo especially if positional nystagmus is present.
