Abstrakt		Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in the USA, in the majority of European countries and also in Slovenia. It affects several organ systems and has a remarkably variable clinical course. When the clinical picture is complete, skin changes appear after a tick bite (erythema migrans, borrelil lymphocytoma), followed by the heart and/or the neurologic system and later on by joints being affected. Late in the course of the illeness, the joints and the central and/or peripheral nervous system is chronically affected as well as the skin showing chronic changes (actodermatitis chronica atropnicans). Tratment of Lyme borrelliosis is reasonable in any stage of disease, however, the efficacy is the highest early in the course of illeness. Only non-specific preventive measures are avaible; an effective and safe vaccine to prevent European Lyme borreloisis in humans has not been developed yet.
