  • Need of interdisciplinary competence and the role of the Department of health in the struggle against Lyme borreliosis
    Pavan, W... O.
    Lyme borreliosis is the most frequent vector-borne disease in North America and Europe. Currently the most important way to face it is prevention with thediffusion of correct information. The ... principal goals of prevention are to avoid tick bites and to stop the progression of the disease. These results areobtained by a correct behavior and, in case of a tick bite, by proper procedures that can reduce the risk of infection. Patients need to be instructed about the correct tick removal method and about the possible signs and symptoms of the disease. The use of prophylactic antimicrobials following a tick bite is not recommended. Due to the problems of scarce sensitivity, specificity and standardization, serological tests should not be used as screening method.
