Infecţii cu Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is a complex of spiro­che­tes, the etiological agents of Lyme disease or Lyme bor­re­lio­sis, an infectious disease of several domestic and wild animals, including humans, clinically expressed by der­ma­titis, ar­thri­tis, meningoencephalitis and general di­sor­ders. However, the infection is not necessarily as­so­cia­ted with the clinical expression, and for diagnosis the clinical suspicion is should be correlated with the la­bo­ra­tory results. In this study, there are presented in­for­ma­tion on the history, etiology, epidemiology, cli­ni­cal picture, diagnosis, prophylaxis and control of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infections.
