  • Epidemiološke značilnosti lymske borelioze v Sloveniji od leta 1993 do 1997 - klinični pojavi lymske borelioze = Epidemiological characteristics of lyme borreliosis in Slovenia from the year 1993 to 1997 - clinical manifestations of lyme borreliosis
    Patkovič Colarič, Jasmina ; Seljak, Marija
    First deseriptions of the signs of a disease which are today known as parts ofLyme borreliosis, can be traced in European medical literature already more than 100 years ago. In Slovenia the disease ... attracted greater attention not earlier than 1981 and registered cases increase from year to year. Today Lyme borreliosis is the most frequent transmissive infectious disease, transmitted by ticks, in Slovenia. In the contribution, epidemiological characteristics ofLyme borreliosis from 1993 to 1997 and its clinical manifestations in Slovenia are presented. Data on patients were collected from data base of the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia. Lyme borreliosis occurrs in all the Slovenian regions and compulsory notification is increasingfrom year to year. The highest share among individual manifestationsof Lyme borreliosis presents erythema migrans, which amounts to 95% of all the registered cases of this disease. 62% of registered patients are from the regions of Ljubljana and Kranj. Highest incidence of erythema migrans is during summer months, mostly in July. Highest morbidity is found among persons between 40 and 59 years of age, and lowest above the age of 75 years and in youth between 10 and 19 years of age. The disease occurs more often in women. There are more patients with Lyme meningitis in the second half of the year, the disease is more frequent in childhood (0 to 9 years of age) and in adults between 50 and 69 years of age. Lyme arthropathy has no seasonal oscillation but is more frequent in women and between 50 and 59 yearsof age. Since the year 1986, when the notification of this disease has become compulsory, the number of registered cases has been increasing but the notification is far from being satisfactory. Without an adequate notification it is impossible to evaluate the impact of lyme borreliosis on the health state of population. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters.)
