Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Lyme-borreliosis, a tick-borne illness, can manifest with cardiac involvement.
  • Cardiac complications of Lyme disease, such as conduction abnormalities, require prompt diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with third-degree atrioventricular block, a severe form of heart block.
  • This cardiac dysfunction was attributed to Lyme-borreliosis.

Findings:

  • The patient required temporary cardiac pacemaker treatment due to the atrioventricular block.
  • Standard antibiotic therapy, as recommended in medical literature, was administered.

Implications:

  • Successful antibiotic treatment resulted in complete recovery (restitutio ad integrum) of cardiac function.
  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing and treating cardiac Lyme-borreliosis to prevent long-term complications.
