Borrelia burgdorferi is the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. The pathogen spreads to humans through the bite of infected ticks.
Without treatment, the infection spreads to the internal organs and causes:
Damage to the central nervous system
liver damage
A tick bite may appear as a small nodule accompanied by itching and redness that we may not even notice.
Early symptoms of Lyme disease begin 3-30 days after a tick bite. At this stage, symptoms are very rare.
Without treatment, Lyme disease progresses. The symptoms characteristic of the second stage develop in 3-10 weeks after the tick bite. The second stage is called the stage of early dissemination and is much more complicated than the first.
It is a late dissemination stage. It can develop within a few months after a tick bite. The most characteristic symptoms are:
Despite the treatment, in some cases complications develop, such as:
These complaints are associated with the post-treatment syndrome of Lyme disease, the causes of which are:
The diagnostics of borreliosis is based on clinical anamnestic data, the probability of a tick bite, differential diagnostics with other diseases and, most importantly, the results of laboratory studies.
When Lyme disease is suspected, a two-step test for Borrelia antibodies is recommended. If the answer to the first study is negative, there is no need for further study. If the data of the first study are positive or ambiguous, it is recommended to repeat the studies.
Laboratory diagnostics is based on the detection of antibodies against Borrelia. The development of antibodies occurs at a relatively late stage of the disease, so the data may be negative at the initial stage of clinical manifestations. Antibodies remain in the blood months and years after exposure to the disease, so quantification is not useful to determine the stage of the disease or the effectiveness of treatment. As a rule, research of IgM and IgG antibodies is carried out
Complications
Despite the treatment, in some cases complications develop, such as:
These complaints are associated with the post-treatment syndrome of Lyme disease, the causes of which are:
Treatment of the disease includes antibiotic therapy and appropriate symptomatic treatment of existing disorders or complications.
Being in nature increases the possibility of contact with ticks. The best way to prevent Lyme disease is to protect yourself from tick bites: walking in open areas with closed clothing; After being in nature, checking skin and clothes, etc.
As a rule, the tick bite episode is often overlooked. After the development of symptoms, they are usually associated with various pathologies. As soon as the early symptoms of the disease are detected, it is important to visit a doctor, conduct laboratory research and start treatment.
