The aim of the study – to determine modern mechanisms of prevention of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis in children (both specific and non-specific prevention).
Materials and Methods. A search and analysis of available literary sources of the PubMed database was carried out, using a combination of key words "Lyme disease in children", "prevention of Lyme disease".
Results and Discussion. Modern mechanisms of prevention of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis in children have been determined. It is important to see a family doctor for Lyme disease antibiotic prophylaxis after a child has been bitten by a tick, or in case parents have found a blood-filled Ixodes tick that was on the body for at least 32 hours. The most effective method of prevention in children is immunization against tick-borne encephalitis and against Lyme disease.
Conclusions. It is necessary to increase the awareness of the medical community about this problem by including modern information in educational programs for students, conducting training seminars, conferences, and intermittent courses for interns and practicing doctors.
