Excerpt:
Lyme disease (borreliosis) is an infectious disease caused by the Borrelia
spirochaetes, usually transmitted to humans by the Ixodes ticks. It is
manifested by a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms varying according to the
time elapsed from the infection. The paper describes orofacial symptoms of
the disease in a woman who has suffered from a chronic borreliosis for 3
years.
Multiorgan clinical manifestations of borreliosis might occur in the
masticatory organ and this fact should be taken into consideration in the
differential diagnosis of pain by medical and dental practitioners.
