[Diagnostic problems with Borrelia burgdorferi infection in children].
Lyme borreliosis has become a serious diagnostic and therapeutic problem of modern medicine. The occurrence of the disease in Europe, and also in Poland, has recently increased. Diagnostic problems with Borrelia burgdorferi infection result from non-characteristic course of the disease in children, without the 1 st stage of the disease (erythema migrans), negative history forwards tick bite, lack of seasonal changes in occurrence and difficulties with interpretation of serological tests results. Direct laboratory investigations are also of little relevance.
