Die Lyme-Borreliose oder Lyme-Krankheit ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Borrelia burgdorferi aus der Gruppe der Spirochäten ausgelöst wird. Der Erreger Borrelia burgdorferi ist eng verwandt mit Treponema pallidum, dem Erreger der Syphilis. Die Borrelien ziehen sich schon bald nach der Infektion aus dem Blutkreislauf in das Gewebe zurück. Es kann jedes Organ, das Nervensystem, die Gelenke und das Gewebe befallen werden. Deshalb spricht man bei dieser Erkrankung auch von einer multisystemischen Krankheit. Die Erkrankung kommt beim Menschen und allen anderen Säugetieren sowie Vögeln vor. Die Übertragung erfolgt vor allem durch eine Zeckenart
English: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Early symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic circular skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart, and central nervous system. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated by antibiotics, especially if the illness is treated early.
