Lyme borreliosis is the multisystem infectious disease caused by the tick-borne spirochetes Borrelia. Localized infection is typically manifested by erythema migrans skin lesions. A broad variety of peripheral nerve disorders (Lyme neuroborreliosis) can occur as well. Late Lyme borreliosis usually manifests as arthritis or the skin disorder known as acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans.
