Lyme Hastalığı

Bir spiroketa olan Borrelia burgdorferi tarafından oluşturulan bu hastalık. ı 976 yılından itibaren Lyme hastalığı olarak tanımlanmakta ve tüm dünyada insan ve birçok evcil hayvanda görülmektedir. Hastalık, başta ABD'de Ixodes dammini (I. scapularis) ve I. pasificus, Avrupa'da I. ricinus ve Asya'da I. persulcatus ile taşınmaktadır. Bu kenelerin yanında, sinek ve sivri sinek gibi diğer bazı vektörler de bu zoonotik infeksiyonu insanlara taşırlar. Bunun yanında hayvanlar arasında direkt bulaşma da şekillenebilir. Bu hastalıkta klinik olarak dal1a çok artritis sonucu şekillenen topallık. ateş. deri lezyonları ve sinirsel belirtiler görülmektedir. Tanıda, etken izolasyonu zor olduğu için lFA ve ELISA gibi serolajik yöntemler tercih edilmektedir. Sağaltımda antibiyotikler etkili olmakta. koruma amacıyla hazırlanan bakterinler başarılı bulunmaktadır.

Lyme Disease

Borreliosis, cansed by a spirochete. Borrelia burgdorferi, is known as Lyme Diseae since 1976, and encountered among men, domestic animals throughout the world. The disease is transmitted by Ixodide ticks, namely Ixodes dammini (I. scapularis) and I. pasificus in USA, I. ricinus in Europe and I. persulcatus in Asia. These ticks and same other vectors such as mosquitos and flies can alsa transmit this zoonitic infection to human beings. Apart from this, direct transmission among animals may occur. Clinical manifestations of the disease include lamenas due to severe arthritis. fever. skin lesions and neurologic abnormalities . Since the isolation of the causative agent is quite difficult, seralogic techniques such as lFA and ELISA are used in the diagnosis of the disease . Antibiotics proved to be useful in the treatment of the elinical disease and it has been shown that the use of bacterins in the prevention of the disease was succesful.
