Abstract

Tick-borne relapsing fevers (TBRFs) are caused by a group of closely related Borrelia species transmitted by the ticks of the genus Ornithodoros. They are widespread in some areas of Africa, where TBRFs are most frequent bacterial infections, and endemic in southern Europe and Central Asia. The medical significance of TBRF is enhanced by the fact that they often lead to pregnancy loss and can cause severe intrauterine infection of newborns. The «new» pathogen species Borrelia miyamotoi also belongs to the genetic group of relapsing fever borrelia but could be found everywhere in Ixodes ticks in Eurasia and North America. In Russia B. miyamotoi causes Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis (ITBB) without erythema migrans and the incidence of this disease is comparable with the incidence ITBB with erythema migrans, caused by B. burgdorferi sensu lato, that is Lyme disease. This paper thoroughly reviews the spectrum and frequency of pregnancy and childbirth pathologies in TBRF the first time in Russian. This is bound to help Russian physicians and scientists plan future researches of potential pregnancy and childbirth pathology in В. miyamotoi infection.
