Abstract
Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete
Borrelia burgdorferi
and is transmitted via the bite of an infected tick.
B. burgdorferi
enters the skin, disseminates via the bloodstream, and infects various distal tissues, leading to inflammatory sequelae, such as Lyme arthritis and Lyme carditis.
