  • Klinične in epidemiološke značilnosti bolnikov z erythema migrans = Clinical and epidemiological charactersitics of patients with erythema migrans
    Videčnik, Jerneja ; Zorman, Peter, 1976-
    Lyme borreliosis is endemic in Slovenia. Its incidence has been on the increase over the past decade, and is among the highest in Europe. Erythema migrans is the clinical hallmark of Lyme ... borreliosis. It is estimated that this sign is present in approximately three-quarters of patients during the early course of the disease. Typical erythema migrans is the only clinical findings that enables a reliable diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis. The presence of erythema migrans alone is a sufficient indicator for the initiation of antibiotic therapy, which is especially efficient early in the course of the disease. This study presents clinical and epidemiological findings in adult patients with erythema migrans who were diagnosed at the Lyme Borreliosis Outpatient Clinic, Department of Infectious Diseases, University Medical Center, Ljubljana in 2000. These findings were compared with data obtained using the same approach for an identical group of patients in 1993. It was expected that the knowledge base on Lyme borreliosis would be superior in 2000compared to 1993; it was also hypothesized that patients would visit the Clinic earlier in the course of the disease, and consequently present with smaller skin lesions and fewer systemic complaints. The study was prospective.Patients who qualified for inclusion in the study were at least 15years of age, diagnosed with typical erythema migrans in 1993 and 2000 at the Lyme Borreliosis Outpatient Clinic in Ljubljana. The diagnosis of erythemawas established clinically according to the modified criteria proposedby the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
