Abstract

Cytogenetic aberrations are known to be caused by biological mutagenic factors, including both intracellular parasites, such as viruses, and some extracellular infectious agents, including bacteria, protozoa, and helminthes. The present study is aimed at investigating the cytogenetic status of acute Lyme borreliosis (LB) patients. As a result of the present study, a peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture of acute LB patients demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of lymphocytes with cytogenetic aberrations of the aneugenic type, such as polyploidy, hypoploidy, or endoreduplication, as well as of the clastogenic type, such as chromatid and chromosomal breaks accompanied by the inhibition of proliferative responses to mitogens and an increase in the elimination of genetically abnormal cells by apoptosis compared to the control.
