    Sammanfattning : Lyme borreliosis was first described some 30 years ago in the USA. Today, it is the most common vector borne disease in Europe and the USA. The disease can have multiple stages and symptoms can manifest from various parts of the body; joints, skin heart and nervous system. In Europe, neuroborreliosis is the most frequent late stage diagnosis. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The disease is characterised by several disease stages, where multiple organ systems might be affected, e.g. the skin, nervous system, heart or joints. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines seasonal, diel and vertical distribution patterns of activity of host-seeking Ixodes ricinus (L.) ticks at three localities in south-central Sweden. In addition, by examining the prevalence of infection in ticks with Lyme borreliosis (LB) spirochetes, Borrelia burgdorferi s. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Clinical, epidemiological and immunological aspects of Lyme borreliosis with special focus on the role of the complement system

    Sammanfattning : Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. The infection is caused by spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, and it is transmitted to humans by ticks. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Clinical and Immunological Aspects of Lyme borreliosis

    Författare :Johanna Sjöwall; Pia Forsberg; Ekerfelt Ekerfelt; Jan Ernerudh; Jarmo Oksi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a tick-borne infection caused by spirochetes of the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex. The infection is associated with several clinical features, of which erythema migrans (EM) and neuroborreliosis (NB) are the most common in Europe. The prognosis after antibiotic therapy is generally good. LÄS MER
