“…Laboratory diagnosis of BYS is difficult because serological tests (ELISA, enzyme immunosorbent assay, or western blotting) for B. burgdorferi show low sensitivity and specificity27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32; this is because these tests utilize antigens from B. burgdorferi stricto sensu from the Northern Hemisphere to evaluate immunoglobulins of Brazilian B. burgdorferi sensu lato.…”

Borreliosis caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is a cosmopolitan zoonosis studied worldwide; it is called Lyme disease in many countries of the Northern Hemisphere and Lyme-like or Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome in Brazil. However, despite the increasing number of suspect cases, this disease is still neglected in Brazil by the medical and veterinary communities. Brazilian Lyme-like borreliosis likely involves capybaras as reservoirs and Amblyomma and Rhipicephalus ticks as vectors. Thus, domestic animals can serve as key carriers in pathogen dissemination. This zoonosis has been little studied in horses in Brazil. The first survey was performed in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and this Brazilian Borreliosis exhibits many differences from the disease widely described in the Northern Hemisphere. The etiological agent shows different morphological and genetic characteristics, the disease has a higher recurrence rate after treatment with antibiotics, and the pathogen stimulates intense symptoms such as a broader immune response in humans. Additionally, the Brazilian zoonosis is not transmitted by the Ixodes ricinus complex. With respect to clinical manifestations, Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome has been reported to cause neurological, cardiac, ophthalmic, muscle, and joint alterations in humans. These symptoms can possibly occur in horses. Here, we present a current panel of studies involving the disease in humans and equines, particularly in Brazil.

“…Currently more than 20.000 cases have been noted yearly, making Lyme disease the most common vector borne infection in the United States. 1,6,12 In Europe, the highest estimates of the prevalence and incidence of Lyme disease are reported from central Europe and Scandinavia, particularly from Austria, Germany, Sweden and Slovenia. [13][14][15][16][17] Although, the exact prevalence of the disease is unknown in Turkey, there are case reports since 1990.…”

“…It is pathognomonic. 1,6,30,31 EM can occur at the site of the tick bite and in any part of the skin. In adult patients erythema migrans is most often located on the legs and feet; in children, the upper part of the body is more frequently affected than in adults.…”

Lyme disease (LD) is caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. Humans are infected by a tick bite to the skin. This disease is a non-contagious infectious disease. It has been known since the 19 th century. LD has a worldwide distribution. It is endemic in Europe, North and South America. There are case reports since 1990 in Turkey. The clinical presentation varies depending on the stage of the disease. Lyme disease is classified into three stages: early localized disease, early disseminated disease, and late disease. The main manifestation of the early stage of the disease is erythema migrans (EM). The disease affects many systems. In all of the clinical presentations, most patients with Lyme disease have resolution of their clinical symptoms when treated with appropriate antimicrobials but recurrence, chronic Lyme borreliosis or post-Lyme syndrome can also be seen. The diagnosis of LD is based on epidemiological, clinical and laboratory findings. Treatment depends on the stage of the disease. Doxycycline, amoxicillin azithromycin, cefuroxime axetil, erythromycin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime and crystalline penicillin are used for treatment. LD can be prevented by reducing contact with ticks. There is no vaccine for the disease.

“…Other cases were recorded, but only in 2011 Talhari and collaborators demonstrated for the first time the presence of Borrelia in patients with migratory erythema, by means of the immunohistochemical technique with the polyclonal antibody anti-Borrelia. The agent may be seen using the focusfloating microscopy technique 65.…”

Abstract:In this special edition in celebration of the centennial of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, the authors take a retrospective look at printed Brazilian dermatology from the very beginning onward, showing evidence of descriptive dermatology with rich discussions, illustrations and advertisements of medications much used at the time, such as bismuth for the treatment of syphilis, before the discovery of penicillin. This retrospective covers up to the current days, when publications in the Brazilian Annals of Dermatology have reached the modern era in electronics, science and layout as well. Keywords: Dermatology; History; Periodicals Resumo: Nesta edição especial para o centenário da Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia, os autores fazem uma retrospectiva da dermatologia brasileira impressa, desde os primórdios, evidenciando a dermatologia descritiva com ricas discussões, ilustrações e propagandas de medicações muito utilizadas na época, como o bismuto no tratamento da sífilis, antes da descoberta da penicilina. Esta revisão chega até os dias atuais, quando as publicações nos Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia entraram na era da modernidade eletrônica, científica e também de layout.
