Editorial Reviews

Lyme borreliosis is a worldwide infectious disease causing a multisystem illness with considerable morbidity, particularly in North America and Europe. The causative agent is the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is usually transmitted by the ixodid tick from animal reservoirs. This volume summarizes the proceedings of the Second European Symposium on Lyme Borreliosis, held at St. George's Hospital Medical School, London in 1993, which reviewed the current state of knowledge of the condition with regard to clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, ecology, epidemiology, biology, and immunopathogenesis.
