Cellular immune response in convalescents from Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis
Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis is a natural focal transmissive infectious multi-system disease featured with complex pathogenesis, which multiple aspects remain unclarified. The persistence stage during this infection associated with prolonged Borrelia presence in metastatic foci and repeated multipl...

Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis is a natural focal transmissive infectious multi-system disease featured with complex pathogenesis, which multiple aspects remain unclarified. The persistence stage during this infection associated with prolonged Borrelia presence in metastatic foci and repeated multiple dissemination is most complicated for clinical practice. It is assumed that the chronic process can be caused by an inadequate immune response associated with activated autoimmune mechanisms leading to emergence of permanent irreversible (degenerative and atrophic) changes in affected organs. Patients who experienced tick-borne borreliosis need dynamic observation for assessing disease prognosis providing a maintenance therapy.
