Tick-borne systemic borreliosis, or Lyme borreliosis (LB), is an infectious natural focal disease that is not yet well known in the country. It has a transmissible route of transmission caused by pathogenic borrelia (Borrelia burgdorferi). As a multisystem disease, LB includes lesions of the skin, heart, joints and nervous system in the clinical spectrum. Its most characteristic symptom is erythema annular migrans (60-80%).
