At the present stage, for tick-borne borreliosis, characterized by a predominant lesion of the nervous system, the term "neuroboreliosis"is used. In patients with BL (Lyme disease), the frequency and severity of lesions of the nervous system varies depending on their place of residence and ranges from 11% to 40%. This figure in Central and North America is about 11%, in the European Union-29-33%, in Asia-16%. According to the latest data, the incidence of neuroboreliosis is 2÷4 times higher than tick-borne encephalitis. In Russia, to date, the statistics of the incidence of neuroboreliosis is not maintained. However, it is possible to get an idea about the level of morbidity indirectly.
