Abstract
The Lyme disease produced by Borrelia burgdorferi generates a multiorgan affectation. Mainly dermatological, rheumatic, neurological and cardiac lesions. The detection and treatment in the first stages are basic to prevent its progression. This presentation is based on a clinical case of the patient with Lime disease, late diagnosis, not diagnosed in the acute phase. Patient currently presents skin lesion compatible with chronic erythema migrans, arthralgias. Current Serology: Borrelia IgG Immunoblot Positive pattern; Ac. Anti- Borrelia burgdorferi (IgG) Positive; Ac. Anti-Borrelia burgdorferi (IgM) Negative. In addition, the patient suffers from depression as side effects of treatment used before the definitive diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
Primary Health Care Research & Development is aimed specifically at both researchers and practitioners in primary health care, bridging the gap between the two areas. It provides a forum for the publication of international, interdisciplinary research and development in primary health care. It is essential reading for all involved in primary care: nurse practitioners, GPs and health service managers; professional and local groups in community health; researchers and academics; purchasers of primary health care services; allied health practitioners in secondary services and health-related consumer groups.
