In the Institute for infectious and tropical diseases in Belgrade in the period 1988-1992, 680 patients with Lyme borreliosis have been examined. In most cases illness was recognised in the first stage as Erythema migrans. In seven patients second and third stage of Lyme borreliosis was cured in hospital.
Seropositivity to Borrelia burgdorferi found in the population of Cacak area, suggests that the illness in different forms is present in this population. Failure in detection of early symptoms contributes to development of the second and the third stage of illness, in which the treatment is connected with more difficulties. A high natural focus activity has been confirmed by seropositivity found in sera of 11% of patients tested.

Over the period from 1985 to 1989, 107 patients suffering from malaria were treated in the Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Belgrade. The eradication of malaria in Yugoslavia was carried out in 1960 and all the new cases originated from different African countries. Most of these patients were Yugoslav citizens working in these countries. Plasmodium falciparum was the cause of malaria in most of them. The parasytologic analysis of dense drops and smears of peripheric blood revealed it in 81 (75.5%) patients. Taking into account the great problem of treatment of malaria resistant to Resorchin (over 50% in our patients) the great role of chemioprophylaxix, antimalaric agents and appropriate vaccination is emphasized.
