Lyme borreliosis is an animal, affecting multiple systems infectious disease transmitted to humans by the ticks (vector) belonging to the genus Ixodes. The incidence of Lyme borreliosis is conterminous with the ticks habitat and covers the Northern Hemisphere. The Department of Epidemiology of National Institute of Public Health - National Institute of Hygiene (NIPH-NIH) is liable for the registration of Lyme borreliosis since 1996. The highest incidence of Lyme borreliosis is observed in the north-east region, but it should be noted that the disease is not only restricted to the aforesaid area of Poland.
The aim of the present article is to analyze the epidemiological situation of Lyme borreliosis in Poland in 2010 with its comparison to the situation observed in the previous years.
The epidemiological situation of Lyme borreliosis in Poland was analyzed on the basis of case-based questionnaires for Lyme borreliosis sent to Epidemiology Department NIPH-NIH by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Stations and the data from the bulletin--"Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2010" (MP Czarkowski et al., Warsaw 2011, NIPH-NIH, Chief Sanitary Inspectorate).
In 2010, 9005 Lyme borreliosis cases were registered in Poland, which constitutes a 13% decrease in the number of reported cases and incidence (23.6 per 100 000 population) in the comparison with the previous year. The highest incidence, accounting for 76.0 per 100 000 population, was reported in podlaskie voivodeship. 2318 persons were hospitalized due to Lyme borreliosis.
In 2010, for the first time in eight years, an increased tendency of the number of registered Lyme borreliosis cases was not observed. An approximately 13% decline in the number of notified cases was reported in comparison with the previous year. There is still a low number of Western blot tests performed to confirm the disease.
莱姆病是一种由硬蜱属蜱虫（传播媒介）传播给人类的、影响多个系统的动物传染病。莱姆病的发病率与蜱虫栖息地一致，覆盖北半球。自1996年以来，国家公共卫生研究所 - 国家卫生研究所（NIPH - NIH）的流行病学部门负责莱姆病的登记工作。莱姆病发病率最高的地区是东北部，但需要注意的是，该病不仅局限于波兰的上述地区。
本文旨在分析2010年波兰莱姆病的流行病学情况，并与前几年的情况进行比较。
根据卫生防疫站发送给NIPH - NIH流行病学部门的莱姆病病例调查问卷以及《2010年波兰传染病和中毒情况》公告（MP Czarkowski等人，华沙，2011年，NIPH - NIH，首席卫生检查局）中的数据，对波兰莱姆病的流行病学情况进行分析。
2010年，波兰登记了9005例莱姆病病例，与上一年相比，报告病例数和发病率（每10万人口23.6例）下降了13%。 Podlaskie省报告的发病率最高，为每10万人口76.0例。2318人因莱姆病住院治疗。
2010年，八年来首次未观察到登记的莱姆病病例数呈上升趋势。与上一年相比，报告病例数下降了约13%。用于确诊该病的免疫印迹试验数量仍然较少。
