Lyme disease and pregnancy

Abstract

Ixodes tick-borne borrelioses found both in Europe, Asia and in America. It has long been known that the disease is transferred ticks. It has been proven, and the assumption of transplacental transmission of Borrelia. But so far not proved the existence of congenital borreliosis. Numerous studies conducted in various countries have not been able to prove or disprove the possible impact of infection on prenatal development of the child. In spite of this, the world’s developed principles of chemoprophylaxis borreliosis in pregnant women after tick bites. Also developed an effective therapy borreliosis in pregnant women. Russia is a country with a high incidence of Lyme disease. Meanwhile, in the domestic literature is almost no descriptions of cases of suspected congenital Lyme. The results obtained in other countries, need to continue to explore the possible impact on the fetus borreliosis. Before domestic doctors and scientists continue to study the task, begun counterparts in other countries.
