Lyme disease, a tick-borne infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, involves many organ systems. Three clinical stages of involvement have been described; patients with the disease may have cutaneous, arthritic, neurologic, or cardiac symptoms, or a constellation of manifestations. Specific antibody testing and antibiotic agents are available for Lyme disease, but a high index of suspicion must be exercised to recognize atypical manifestations.
莱姆病是一种由伯氏疏螺旋体引起的蜱传播感染，累及多个器官系统。该病已被描述有三个临床受累阶段；患有该病的患者可能有皮肤、关节、神经或心脏症状，或一系列表现。莱姆病有特定的抗体检测方法和抗生素药物，但必须高度怀疑才能识别非典型表现。
