Lyme Borreliosis is a multi-organ infectious disease caused by Borrelia Burgdorferi. The disease is transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The first stage of the disease is characterized by the skin lesion Erythema Migrans at the site of the tick bite. A 2^nd stage may follow weeks or months later, when some patients develop neurological symptoms, cardiac problems or arthritis.

Aim: The numerous treatments and research methods have failed to reverse all symptoms of the illness entirely within the shortest scope of time. It usually takes at least 7 days for patients to have a normal white cell count but a longer duration to remove the Erythema migrans, thus the continuous attempt to find a better solution till now.

Method: 23 patients (15 men and 8 women) in between the ages of 23-70 years with Lyme disease were assessed and were divided into two groups (group I – 13 patients; group II – 10 patients). Patients were all in the acute of phase of the disease with intoxication and the symptom of “bull’s eye” (Erythema migrans). Each group took antibacterial treatment – Ceftriaxone 500mg BID and additionally with antipyretics and analgesics. In combination of these, I group had daily cold laser therapy by mila f8-01 at the site of the “bull’s eye”.

Results: The 1^st groups with combination of laser revealed a tremendous improvement with 10 of them having no visible erythema and a normalization of the white cell count on the 5th day after the laser therapy and were discharged to continue their normal day to day activities, 3 had normal WBC count but had some remnants of the erythema. In the 2^nd group, patients still exhibited mild symptoms and signs after the 5^th day with still visible erythema migrans.

Conclusion: the results show that the use of the new cold laser therapy as a part of complex treatment for Lyme disease in future will be very effective when added in the treatment protocols.
