The EU Concerted Action on Risk Assessment in Lyme Borreliosis (EUCALB) has consulted other clinicians and scientists in Europe to produce case definitions of the principal manifestations of European Lyme borreliosis. These case definitions will not only be helpful in supporting its own research interests, but are also intended to assist other clinicians in appropriate management and to support further studies aimed at determining the full clinical spectrum of the disease. The case definitions were achieved after a series of meetings organised by EUCALB with other expert clinicians and scientists from twelve European countries. The definitions and the diagnostic criteria presented thus represent the consensus reached at these meetings. The proposed case definitions consider skin, nervous system, cardiac and musculoskeletal presentations and the role of laboratory investigation in supporting diagnosis.
欧盟莱姆病风险评估联合行动（EUCALB）已咨询欧洲其他临床医生和科学家，以制定欧洲莱姆病主要表现的病例定义。这些病例定义不仅有助于支持其自身的研究兴趣，还旨在帮助其他临床医生进行适当的管理，并支持旨在确定该疾病完整临床谱的进一步研究。这些病例定义是在EUCALB与来自12个欧洲国家的其他专家临床医生和科学家组织的一系列会议之后达成的。因此，所提出的定义和诊断标准代表了这些会议达成的共识。拟议的病例定义考虑了皮肤、神经系统、心脏和肌肉骨骼方面的表现以及实验室检查在辅助诊断中的作用。
