Dizziness and vertigo are symptoms caused by several etiological factors, they are result of general diseases, within anemia. They are associated with several diseases of the organ of hearing and balance, which are under laryngological care, and one of most important tests to distinguish vertigo of central and peripheral origin is videonystagmography. Several diseases of the central nervous system cause instability of posture and gait. Psychogenic feeling of being insecure and unsafe makes the diagnostics more complicated...

UNLABELLED: Boreliosis is an arthropod transmitted, bacterial infection, known for its complicated pathogenesis and prolonged course. Boreliosis can be divided into early, localized type, early generalized type as well as late type. Cytokines control homeostasis of the organism by transmitting signals between cells. TGF (transforming growth factor) beta is one of the cytokines that modulates cell differentiation, proliferation and angiogenesis. In larger concentrations it blocks the expression of IL-1 and TNF-alfa...

The ticks Ixodes ricinus were collected during three growing seasons in forested areas of north-western Poland. The ticks were collected by flagging at 30 sites. The specimens collected (nymphs and adults) were subjected, after an appropiate treatment, to indirect immunofluorescence analysis (IFA). In addition, effects of temperature and atmospheric precipitation on the tick infection with the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi were investigated based on data supplied by the Institute of Meteorology. A total of 8519 individuals of I...

Prevalence of Lyme borreliosis in Europe has been well esablished during the last decade. The highest morbidity in Poland, exceeding 100 cases (100.000) year, was demonstrated in north-estern part of the country. Additional small endemic areas were also described in south-western and central part of the country. Clinical picture of the disease do not differ significantly from observed in other parts of Europe. Lyme borreliosis is characterized with a wide variety of manifestations recognized as typical: erythema migrans, borrelial lymphocytoma, acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, arthritis, facial palsy, lymphocytic meningitis and cardiac transduction disturbances...

In the decade from 1980 to 1990, anamnestic data were amassed from 746 animal breeders on 31 farms, suffering from similar health problems and at the same time, 146 people from various professions outside agriculture were chosen as a control sample. A randomly selected group of 20 people from the 746 animal breeders were serologically tested for a wide range of infectious diseases (mycoplasmosis, tularaemia, leptospirosis, boreliosis, toxoplasmosis, listeriosis, and others). The analyses of these tests showed comparable figures in the majority of the tested people only in their serological response to chlamydial infection...

Clinical signs of Lyme boreliosis in humans are versatile and in their whole scope they finally affect the nervous system, heart, and joints. The therapeutic effect of antibiotics is maximal in the first acute stage of the disease when doxycycline and amoxiciline are administered. These antibiotics possess a comparable in vitro effect, tissue penetration, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic effect. The treatment of disseminated infections in the second stage, such as neuroborreliosis, carditis, and iritis, is difficult and with relative success they are treated with large doses of penicillin G, or cefriaxon, and doxycycline...

Lyme boreliosis is currently the most common tick-borne infection. It may cause various clinical symptoms depending on organ localization and duration of the infection. The disease may be symptomless, subclinical or with full clinical manifestation. Usually three clinical stages may be distinguished. In stage I erythema migrans and flu-like symptoms usually develop. In stage II, connected with the infection spreading with blood and lymph, beside joint pains, neuroboreliosis appears, sometimes the disease involves other organs such as heart, eyes, testicles, joints...

Authors review the available literature on listeriosis and boreliosis in perinatology. A growing clinical importance of listeriosis is noted. Boreliosis is a newly described disease. In the light of the literature data, listeriosis and boreliosis do not seem to play an important role in the perinatal medicine. However, in selected cases, these infections should be considered in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

The lipid antigens used in the Bordet-Wassermann and prepared by Landsteiner and Marie for syphilis tests from 1909 to 1949 were non specific but have certain common features with the spirochete body. For more than forty years the Bordet-Wassermann reaction, associated with flocculation (Kahn) or agglutination (Kline-VDRL) was used to detect cases of tremonematosis despite frequent false positives reactions due to other infections. In 1949, the Nelson and Mayer test was introduced. This test was based on a rigorously specific reaction based on an antigen of live virulent Treponema pallidum...
