Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in Europe and North America. In Poland, the number of cases is increasing year by year. Although Lyme disease is easy to treat in the early stages, a delay in diagnosis can lead to serious complications, such as neurological problems, joint pain, or heart problems.

The health policy program for the prevention of tick-borne diseases (Lyme disease) for the years 2023–2025 for the residents of Wrocław County is a response to the growing threat of Lyme disease.

1. Purpose:

Improving knowledge about Lyme disease among the inhabitants of the Wrocław district, mainly among people exposed to contact with ticks, such as forest workers, farmers and hunters.

2. Recruitment and qualification:

Qualification of participants from the high-risk group from the Wrocław district, including those who were bitten by a tick but did not undergo testing. Medical qualification is carried out by the staff of the NZOZ Twój Lekarz network implementing the program.

3. Medical services provided to patients qualified for the program:

• Diagnostic and therapeutic consultation:

Consultations are held at NZOZ Twój Lekarz facilities, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., in the form of a personal visit or teleconsultation. The purpose of the consultation is a detailed medical interview and, in the event of suspected Lyme disease, ordering tests.

• Diagnostic tests for Lyme disease - ELISA test and Western blot test
• Specialist consultation:

Based on the test results, all Program participants whose condition requires it are referred to a physician specializing in infectious diseases.

4. Information and educational activities:
