CONCLUSIONS

1. Lyme disease is trully „the great imitator” of our times , just as sifilis has
been for previous generations

2. Tick bite is a clinical diagnose , the disease’s debut can be acute or
insidious and multiorganic affectation is present

3. Laboratory tests ca be very difficult to interpretate due to the fact that the
patient can have a negative serology despite the active infection with Borrelia

4. The one month treatment is enough and can be justified if treatment has
been set immediately after the tick bite
