Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Lyme borreliosis is a globally prevalent tick-transmitted infection caused by Borrelia species.
  • The disease manifests in early (primary) and late (secondary, tertiary) stages.
  • Characteristic skin manifestations include erythema migrans, lymphadenosis benigna cutis, and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Lyme borreliosis.
  • To detail the causative agents and transmission routes.
  • To describe the clinical stages and dermatological presentations.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Lyme borreliosis.
  • Analysis of causative Borrelia species (e.g., Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garini, B. afzelii).

  • Categorization of disease progression into early and late stages.

    • Main Results:

    • Lyme borreliosis is found on all continents.
    • The infection involves both cutaneous and systemic aspects.
    • The progression and outcome are heavily influenced by timely diagnosis and treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and antibiotic intervention are key to favorable outcomes in Lyme borreliosis.
    • Understanding the disease stages and characteristic skin lesions is vital for effective management.
    • Lyme borreliosis requires a multidisciplinary approach involving infectious disease specialists and dermatologists.
