CONCLUSIONS
1. Lyme disease is trully „the great imitator” of our times , just as sifilis has
been for previous generations2. Tick bite is a clinical diagnose , the disease’s debut can be acute or
insidious and multiorganic affectation is present3. 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 Borrelia4. The one month treatment is enough and can be justified if treatment has
been set immediately after the tick bite
