Abstract

Lyme borreliosis is a natural focal, vector-borne disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The transmission of ixodes ticks is characterized by a staged course with damage to various organs and systems. This disease is an urgent problem in medicine because of the peculiarities of its clinical course, including in the late period. Not infrequently, due to the lack of vigilance of physicians and the polymorphism of the clinical presentation of the disease, Lyme borreliosis runs under the masks of other diagnoses. In Covid-19, caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, both in the acute period of the disease and later develop systemic clinical manifestations in the central and peripheral nervous systems and the musculoskeletal system. These features are particularly characteristic of the post-Covid-19 syndrome.A clinical case of chronic neuroborreliosis and post-COVID-19 syndrome with lesions in the nervous and muscular systems is presented.
