| lyme borreliosis. | lyme borreliosis is a complex infectious process that primarily involves the skin, heart, joints, and nervous systems. the infectious agent is the spirochete b burgdorferi, which is transmitted by the ixodes genus of ticks. the clinical presentations of lyme disease are protean because of the overlap of stages and varied organ system involvement. furthermore, as previously mentioned, approximately one-third of lyme patients are unable to recall a tick bite. lyme borreliosis should be suspected i ... | 1991 | 1918895 |
