CLINICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF LYME DISEASE

Keywords: Lyme borreliosis, neuroborreliosis, serological tests, neurological features, migratory erythema

Abstract

Goals of our research work are to analyze frequency and prevalence of Lyme borreliosis (LB), to understand engagement of nervs system in pathological process. Also to assess clinical Lyme disease (LD) stages, features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention methods based on the collected data and literature. The data on diagnosis, treatment, prevention of LD and neuroborreliosis (LNB) are carefully gathered from international and domestic publications at PubMed over 2015-2020 years. LB has stages in the course of the disease. The clinical manifestations of this disease are different. LD affects the central and peripheral nervs system, has a multiorgan character, possibly an acute and chronic course of the disease. At the moment, there are various methods for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of LB, but pathogenesis of the disease has not been sufficiently studied, methods of vaccination have not yet been developed. Damage of nervs system in chronic LD requires further study of the pathogenetic mechanisms and factors of the development of this pathology.
