“…The first adult patient with sensoneurinal deafness associated with TBE has been reported in England [21]. Another study [22] confirmed sensorineural hearing loss in 16.7% of patients treated for tick-borne diseases, mainly Lyme disease, or being coinfected by TBE. There is no way to distinguish how many patients had been infected with TBE.…”

Nowadays Lyme disease (systemic tick-borne borreliosis, Lyme borreliosis) remains one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases with inoculable transmission mechanism, with ixodid ticks as carriers and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato as the causative agent. The disease is characterized by a staged course and severe damage to various organs and systems. In Ukraine, the natural foci of this disease are almost throughout the country. Sumy region occupies a leading place in terms of morbidity. In Ukraine, the most affected regions are Kyiv (29.00 cases per 100 thousand population), Cherkasy (25.4), Vinnytsia (23.9), Sumy (25.89) regions, and Kyiv city (22.54). Lyme disease is mainly registered in the spring-autumn period, this may be due to increased visits to recreation areas and seasonal activity of ticks (May–June, September–October). Scientific data about etiology, epidemiology, clinical course, diagnostics, therapy, and disease preventive measures were analyzed. It was found that B. burgdorferi s. l. is one of the most widespread agents with inoculable transmission mechanism on the European continent, including Ukraine. There is no single worldwide conception concerning preventive measures, diagnostics, and treatment, which necessitates the further study of this problem. Detection of antibodies to B. Burgdorferi s. l. in the human blood serum is not evidence of infection but testifies the previous contact with these pathogens and the presence of high risk of Lyme disease development. To improve the epidemiologic situation concerning Lyme disease it is required to study sites of the disease in Ukraine more thoroughly, to improve epidemiological surveillance system by creating disease spread map for diseases which are transferred by ticks in Sumy region, to plan a series of anti-epidemic and preventive measures, which are of practical use for population, to prevent asymptomatic disease course and chronization.

Hearing Loss and Disorders: The Repercussions of Climate Change

Purpose: Climate change is considered to be the greatest threat to human health in the 21st century, and its effects are accelerating. Extensive research has clearly demonstrated its increasing impact across the continuum of health conditions. Despite this, there has been limited attention to the ramifications of climate change on hearing loss and hearing disorders. This lack of consideration is somewhat surprising as the environment itself and its changing nature have a substantial effect on hearing. Method: Tackling climate change could be the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century. To address this issue, this tutorial provides a general introduction to climate change and its three major elements (pollution, infectious diseases, and extreme weather events) and their effects on health. The substantial consequences of climate change for the incidence, development, and exacerbation of hearing loss and disorders are clearly described and detailed. Conclusions: The challenge of responding to this very real and escalating threat to hearing requires a combination of prevention, advocacy, and education. These three roles place audiologists in the perfect position to take action on the far-reaching effects of climate change on hearing loss and disorders. To respond to this challenge and to fulfill these roles, several strategies, ranging from the individual level to the global level, are delineated for audiologists to incorporate into their practice.
