Abstract
In the past year there have been 68 cases of Lyme disease in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. 41 patients had erythema chronicum migrans, and 8 of them had associated neurological disease. 13 further patients presented with neurological disease without a preceding skin lesion. Myocarditis was present in 1 patient. Ixodes ricinus was confirmed as the vector for Lyme disease. In two areas deer were found to be infected by Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative organism of Lyme disease. 86% of 45 deer sera tested had significant antibody titres against B burgdorferi.Entities:
