[Outbreak of Lyme borreliosis with joint manifestation--case report].
Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted into the human body by ticks. The clinical symptoms are associated with skin, joints, heart and nervous system. Four groups of antibiotics are used in Lyme borreliosis treatment: penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines and macrolides. We present the case of Lyme borreliosis with outbreak joint manifestation.
