Summary: Lyme disease is a complex multisystemic di­sorder with a rising incidence worldwide. It is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by a newly recognized spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease may mimic and should be differen­ ciated from other immune-mediated disorders as its symptoms may include neurologic, joint, eye or cardiac abnormalities, as well as the typical skin lesion. The authors describe some new concepts on epidemiology, and clinical characteristics of the disease as well as its diagnosis and treatment.

O agente responsável pela doença é a Borrelia Burgdorferi (espiroqueta), a qual é transmitida ao homem por artrópodes. Dado o seu pleomorfismo clínico, revela-se extremamen­te importante no diagnóstico diferencial com várias outras doenças, nomeadamente dermato­lógicas, neurológicas, reumatológicas, oftalmo­lógicas e cardiológicas. Os autores apresentam uma revisão sobre os conceitos actuais epidemiológicos, clínicos, di­agnósticos e terapêuticos.Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna1997-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/2191Internal Medicine; Vol. 4 No. 1 (1997): Janeiro/ Março; 48-52Medicina Interna; Vol. 4 N.º 1 (1997): Janeiro/ Março; 48-522183-99800872-671Xreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/2191https://revista.spmi.pt/index.php/rpmi/article/view/2191/1575Cabral, AnaMelo, Eduardoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-08-19T06:11:04Zoai:oai.revista.spmi.pt:article/2191Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T11:05:26.421158Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
