Excerpt:

RESULTS: Performed comparative clinico-laboratory analysis
demonstrated increased levels of LL-2, IL-4, and IL-8 in patients
during acute phase of tick-borne borreliosis that could point to
host’s response on bacterial infection. It should be noted that
in patients with arthritis levels of LL-4 and
IL-2 remained high during recovery phase that probably determined
by possible persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi. 
CONCLUSION: Further research of cytokines during Lyme borreliosis
could have important diagnostic and prognostic value.
