Euroopan ja Amerikan Borrelioosi hyvin samanlaisia

[soijuv]

Borrelioosi on yleisin punkkien levittämä infektiotauti sekä Euroopassa että Pohjois-Amerikassa. Taudinkuva on eri puolilla maailmaa hyvin samankaltainen. (2011 Saksa, Itävalta, Ruotsi, Uk, Irlanti)

Abstract

Clin Microbiol Infect 2011; 17: 69-79 ABSTRACT: Lyme borreliosis, caused by

spirochaetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi genospecies complex, is the most

commonly reported tick-borne infection in Europe and North America. The

non-specific nature of many of its clinical manifestations presents a diagnostic

challenge and concise case definitions are essential for its satisfactory

management. Lyme borreliosis is very similar in Europe and North America but the

greater variety of genospecies in Europe leads to some important differences in

clinical presentation. These new case definitions for European Lyme borreliosis

emphasise recognition of clinical manifestations supported by relevant

laboratory criteria and may be used in a clinical setting and also for

epidemiological investigations.© 2010 The Authors. Journal Compilation © 2010
