Description

Borrelia afzelii, B borgdorferi, and B garinii are spirochetes and known etiological agents of Lyme borreliosis (Lyme disease). B garinii and B afzelii are more prevalent in Europe and regions of Asia, whereas B borgdorferi is the primary agent causing in Lyme disease in North America. PMID: 21414082 Travelers or residents of these regions who are bitten by ticks are at increased risk for Lyme disease caused by a Borrelia species. The bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks of the Ixodes genus. PMID: 21413339 Many patients will develop a red rash (erythema migrans) at the site of the tick bite. Other symptoms include fever, headache, feeling tired, facial nerve paralysis, joint pains, and meningitis. Symptoms can occur within a few days to a month or more after the bite. Antibiotics commonly used for oral treatment of Lyme disease include doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime axetil.[CDC:lyme] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
