Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is a natural foci disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi with the tick as a vector. The main clinical manifestation of this disease is nervous system damage. The most common neurological lesions are meningitis, encephalitis, cranial neuritis, motor, and sensory neuritis. One stage of Lyme disease can be effective with only antibiotics, but to stage two, three antibiotics are useless, especially the lack of specific treatment for neurological damage. It is characterized by chronic migratory erythema on the skin in the early stage, and later on, nerve, heart, or joint disease will appear, which is more harmful. The disease usually occurs in summer and early autumn and can occur at any age. The male slightly more than the female, come on with young adults in the majority. It is closely related to occupations. The infection rate is higher in field workers and forestry workers. Lyme disease can be prevented by effective measures to prevent mosquito bites.

Diagnosis of Lyme Disease

There are several ways to diagnose Lyme disease:

• Blood routine. The peripheral blood picture is normal, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is slightly increased, the cryoprecipitate immunoglobulin in the serum may be positive, and the transaminase may be increased.
• Antibody test. The spirochetes can be detected in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and diseased skin samples. Specific antibodies can be detected in the blood of patients by methods such as immunofluorescence. Pathogen isolation and specific antibody detection have diagnostic significance.
• PCR test. Lyme disease DNA (BB-DNA) is detected in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and skin samples of patients, with a high positive rate. At the same time, the genotype of the infected strain can be measured.
