Zusammenfassung

Die Lyme-Arthritis wird durch Zeckenstiche übertragene Spirochäten, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, hervorgerufen. Die Diagnose wird durch die klinische Symptomatik gestellt. Laborchemische Untersuchungen dienen zur Bestätigung der Verdachtsdiagnose. Die Erkrankung zeigt Früh- und Spätmanifestationen. Die Therapie erfolgt stadien- und symptomorientiert mit antiphlogistischen Maßnahmen und einer antibiotischen Behandlung.

Abstract

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a bacterium of the Spirochaetaceae, is the etiological agent of Lyme disease. The diagnosis of Lyme arthritis is based on the patient anamnesis and clinical findings. The detection of antibodies to Borrelia antigens is used to confirm the diagnosis. Lyme arthritis can be separated into early and late stages of manifestation. The antibiotic and antiphlogistic treatment is determined by the stage of development and clinical findings of the patient.
