Lyme disease is a spirochaetal infection caused by Borrelia Burgdorferi sensu lato, which is transmitted by infected ticks of the genus Ixodes. It has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations which, associated with its low incidence in Portugal, requires a high level of clinical suspicion for diagnosis. However, it is considered endemic in certain geographic areas, like Central Europe. The authors report the...
