Involvement of the musculoskeletal system in 50 Lyme borreliosis patients seen in Czechoslovakia is described. Thirty-three patients reported tick bites or that they had removed a tick, four patients had been bitten by some other insect. Skin reaction following tick bite were found in 29 patients. Neurologic involvements have been described in 40 subjects. In one patient complete heart block developed after ECM, so that a permanent pacemaker was necessary for two weeks. Mainly three types of involvement of the musculoskeletal system were observed, mostly as intermittent episodes of arthralgia or migratory musculoskeletal pain. In 37 patients brief attacks of monoarthritis or asymmetrical oligoarthritis were seen, chiefly of intermittent subacute course. Chronic arthritis was diagnosed in seven cases, sacroiliitis in four patients. The authors discuss differential diagnosis, especially in patients with chronic joint involvement.
