    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Epidemiology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Lyme disease is an emerging infectious illness transmitted by Ixodes ticks.
    • It is caused by a Treponema-like spirochete.
    • The disease manifests with diverse inflammatory symptoms affecting the skin, joints, heart, and central nervous system (CNS).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic features of Lyme disease.
    • To highlight the importance of recognizing Lyme disease in pediatric populations.
    • To emphasize the treatable nature of Lyme disease and its potential for misdiagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on Lyme disease.
    • Analysis of causal factors, transmission routes, and clinical manifestations.
    • Discussion of diagnostic laboratory findings.

    Main Results:

    • Lyme disease is characterized by a wide range of inflammatory symptoms.
    • The illness is transmitted through the bite of infected Ixodes ticks.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, particularly in children.

    Conclusions:

    • Lyme disease is a significant public health concern requiring increased awareness.
    • Pediatricians must be vigilant to differentiate Lyme disease from other serious conditions.
    • Prompt recognition and management of Lyme disease can lead to favorable outcomes.
