Description

Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the Borrelia spirochete and transmitted by the bite of a representative of one of several tick species.
The main vector in Europe is Ixodes pacificus ticks. Most infections occur during the summer months and usually have a three-phase course:

- early limited form of Lyme disease characterized by flu-like symptoms accompanied by erythema migrans,

- early disseminated Lyme disease distinguished by multiple erythema migrans, which may be accompanied by neurological disorders, cutaneous or myocardial,

- late Lyme disease, i.e. chronic dermatitis of the peripheral parts of the extremities (acrodermatitis), with associated extracutaneous disorders such as neurological, rheumatologic and myocardial.
Antibodies in the IgG class indicate a history of infection.
Current recommendations for diagnosing tick-borne diseases recommend testing for Borrelia antibodies at the earliest
4-6 weeks after a bite.
