Clinical manifestations of skin borreliosis - our experience

Purpose: Lyme borreliosis is a multisystem infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. A disease can affect every organ, and it is characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations. Erythema migrans is the basic clinical marker of Lyme disease in acute or subacute form. Recurrences occur in 9 –30% of inadequately treated patients. The aim of this paper was to investigate the frequency and clinical forms of skin borreliosis on our material, with the presentation of four atypical cases and to draw attention to the importance of clinical recognition of the disease.
