“…35 Recently, in our region, cases of Lyme-like Disease in Brazilian children have been described, transmitted by a tick, where there was an association with seasonality. 36,37 Recent studies have indicated a relationship between some respiratory viruses such as Influenza/H 1 N 1 and climate change on child health. Humidity appears to perform an important role, with absolute humidity associated with greater infection rates for the influenza virus.…”

“…However, despite the confirmation by serological techniques of the existence of this infection in humans and animals, the culture and isolation of B. burgdorferi has not yet been successfully performed in Brazil 9,10 . After being bitten by an infected tick, skin lesions may occur 20,21 . However, not all individuals become ill and the host may be presented as an asymptomatic carrier of the bacteria for years 10,20 .…”

A Síndrome de Baggio-Yoshinari (SBY) é uma zoonose emergente brasileira que apresenta semelhanças com a doença de Lyme (DL). Ambas são causadas pela espiroqueta Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, transmitida para hospedeiros vertebrados por meio de picadas de carrapato. Contudo, a SBY diverge da DL em alguns aspectos clínicos e imunológicos. No presente estudo, objetivou-se realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre a SBY, abordando aspectos amplos como história da doença, epidemiologia, manifestações clínicas, aspectos imunológicos, diagnóstico e tratamento. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Science Direct, LILACS e Bireme, de onde foram extraídos 25 artigos científicos para análise, sem delimitação temporal. Evidenciou-se que a grande diversidade biológica e geográfica do país contribuiu para a ocorrência de modificações na B. burgdorferi que, possivelmente, resultaram nas particularidades da SBY. A bactéria, auxiliada por proteínas da saliva do carrapato, consegue transpor as barreiras imunológicas do hospedeiro para infectá-lo. Inicialmente, o diagnóstico baseia-se na presença de oligoartrite, podendo também estar presentes sintomas neurológicos, dermatológicos, cardíacos ou oculares, seguindo-se com a avaliação de outros critérios clínicos e laboratoriais. O tratamento consiste na utilização de doxiciclina ou amoxicilina associada a outros fármacos de acordo com as manifestações clínicas. Nota-se que a SBY, apesar de pouco estudada, configura-se como uma doença emergente que necessita de maior atenção por parte dos setores de saúde pública e da comunidade científica para melhor caracterização do quadro clínico e, consequente realização de diagnóstico precoce, evitando acometimentos crônicos aos pacientes.

“…Studies on Brazilian neuroborreliosis are important because nearly 35% of BYS cases have a neurological clinical presentation, and there are few papers reporting neuroborreliosis in children. The relevance of this topic was seen in a Brazilian study in which the prevalence of anti- Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies was observed in 6.2% of children with acute exanthema, with higher seasonal expression in summer and autumn 18 .…”

Passage of Borrelia burgdorferi through diverse Ixodid hard ticks causes distinct diseases: Lyme borreliosis and Baggio-Yoshinari syndrome

Baggio-Yoshinari syndrome is an emerging, tick-borne, infectious disease recently discovered in Brazil. This syndrome is similar to Lyme disease, which is common in the United States of America, Europe and Asia; however, Brazilian borreliosis diverges from the disease observed in the Northern Hemisphere in its epidemiological, microbiological, laboratory and clinical characteristics. Polymerase chain reaction procedures showed that Baggio-Yoshinari syndrome is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto spirochete. This bacterium has not yet been isolated or cultured in adequate culture media. In Brazil, this zoonosis is transmitted to humans through the bite of Amblyomma and Rhipicephalus genera ticks; these vectors do not belong to the usual Lyme disease transmitters, which are members of the Ixodes ricinus complex. The adaptation of Borrelia burgdorferi to Brazilian vectors and reservoirs probably originated from spirochetes with atypical morphologies (cysts or cell-wall-deficient bacteria) exhibiting genetic adjustments, such as gene suppression. These particularities could explain the protracted survival of these bacteria in hosts, beyond the induction of a weak immune response and the emergence of serious reactive symptoms. The aim of the present report is to note differences between Baggio-Yoshinari syndrome and Lyme disease, to help health professionals recognize this exotic and neglected zoonosis.
