The Problem Of Diagnosis Of Lyme Arthritis In Children

Abstract

The aspects of the clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches and treatment of the disease are discussed. We present two cases of Lyme arthritis and non-rheumatic arthritis. Particular focus is given to borrelial joint disease. We suggest that informing health professionals about such Lyme disease treatment outcome should help practical physicians to distinguish it from allergic reactions or other conditions and improve treatment outcomes.
