“…W postaci rozsianej dochodzi do zajęcia licznych narządów w następstwie rozsiewu krętków głównie drogą krwiopochodną (ostrej neuroboreliozy, zapalenia serca, wczesnego zapalenie stawów). Stadium przewlekłe boreliozy charakteryzuje się przewlekłymi bólami stawów, kaletek maziowych, miejscową lub uogólnioną mialgią oraz szerokim zakresem niespecyficznych objawów neurologiczno--psychiatrycznych [19]. Ryzyko zakażenia ludzi chorobami odkleszczowymi zależy od regionu geograficznego oraz częstości występowania patogenów w rezerwuarze zwierzęcym i w kleszczach.…”

When a patient suspected with juvenile idiopathic arthritis turns out to be diagnosed with an infectious disease – a review of Lyme arthritis in children

The Lyme arthritis is a common manifestation of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete. Despite its infectious background, the inflammation clinically and histopatologically resembles juvenile idiopathic arthritis. As it affects a considerable number of Lyme disease patients, it should be routinely considered in differential diagnosis. Development of arthritis is partially dependent on spirochetal factors, including the ribosomal spacer type and the sequence of outer surface protein C. Immunological background involves Th1-related response, but IL-17 provides an additional route of developing arthritis. Autoimmune mechanisms may lead to antibiotic-refractory arthritis. The current diagnostic standard is based on a 2-step testing: ELISA screening and immunoblot confirmation. Other suggested methods contain modified two-tier test with C6 ELISA instead of immunoblot. An initial 28-day course of oral antibiotics (doxycycline, cefuroxime axetil or amoxicillin) is a recommended treatment. Severe cases require further anti-inflammatory management. Precise investigation of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is advisable.

“…Production losses due to parasitism may vary from one parasite to the other. In tick infestation, for example, losses may be due to loss of blood (Gabr, 2012), tick paralysis (Chand et al, 2016), transmission of different diseases (Duvallet and Boireau, 2015;Kmieciak et al, 2016), treatment costs (Gomes et al, 2016), etc. Likewise, gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) may interfere with food intake and absorption adversely affecting animal productivity (Geurden et al, 2015;Ravinet et al, 2016).…”

Geo-climatic and socio-economic conditions provide a favourable environment for parasitic population of livestock in Pakistan. Hard ticks (Ixodidae) and gastrointestinal nematodes pose most serious threats to livestock industry. Stackholders rely on synthetic drugs to control these parasites. Emergence of drug resistance in these parasites; however, has provoked interest in alternate of synthetic drugs. Testing of plants used in ethnoveterinary medicine for their antiparasitic activity employing standard procedures has been reported to be promising. Plants have been most frequently used for deworming purposes followed by as acaricides and insecticides; whereas, reports as to their antiprotozoal use are relatively less. Use of plants as antiparasitics is more frequent in developing countries having low accessability to the modern parasite control practices. Likewise, validation studies on the use of plants as antiparasitics have been more frequently carried out in the developing countries compared with those having livestock farming as commercial enterprise. This article presents an overview of the plants having acaricidal and anthelmintic activity, limitations as to the application of phytotherpay to control parasites and future prospects of the use of plants as antiparasitics.
