Objectives: In a nationwide, matched cohort study, we aimed to investigate risks of haematologic cancers among individuals tested for Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) antibodies, and among serum Bb seropositive individuals. Methods: We identified all Bb seropositive individuals in Denmark (1993–2020) (n = 52 200) and constructed two age- and sex-matched comparison cohorts: (a) Bb seronegative controls (n = 104 400) and (b) background population controls (n = 261 000). We calculated short-term OR (aOR) (<1 month of study inclusion), and long-term hazard ratios (aHR) (>1 month after study inclusion) adjusted for age and sex. We stratified seropositive individuals on only Bb-IgM seropositive (n = 26 103), only Bb-IgG seropositive (n = 18 698), and Bb-IgM-and-IgG seropositive (n = 7399). Results: Compared with the background population, individuals tested for Bb antibodies had increased short-term (aOR: 12.6, 95% CI: 10.1–15.6) and long-term (aHR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.2–1.4) risk of haematologic cancers. The Bb seropositive individuals had no increased risk of haematologic cancers compared with those who tested negative for Bb, except that Bb-IgM-and-IgG seropositive individuals had increased long-term risk of chronic lymphatic leukaemia (aHR: 2.0, 95% CI: 1.2–3.4). Discussion: Our results suggest that Bb antibody testing is included in the work-up of unspecific symptoms preceding diagnosis of haematologic cancers. Bb-IgM-and-IgG seropositivity was associated with a two-fold increased long-term risk of chronic lymphatic leukaemia, which warrants further investigation.
