Abstract
It has been observed the increase of incidence of Lyme disease in Georgia.Lyme borreliosis, multisystem disease characterized by polyorgan damage, is more frequent among men aged 20-40. Cases are reported mostly in eastern part of Georgia including Tbilisi. Clinical manifestation is characterized by many different clinical syndromes. It contributes to its difficult serologic diagnosis and delayed adequate etiotropic therapy.
