Syphilis and lyme borreliosis have similar etiologic, clinical, and
epidemiologic characteristics. Both are multisystem infectious
disorders spread
worldwide. Their clinical course can be divided into three stages
and as to
spirochetal origin, antibiotic therapy is similar too. Taxonomical
relationship
of Treponema and Borrelia could explain also congenital
manifestations
well-known in syphilis, and suggested in borreliosis. Therapy of
pregnant women
with syphilis and lyme borreliosis should follow the same strategy.
