description Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Cardiac manifestations are rare, occurring in 0.5% to 10% of patients. Lyme carditis and atrioventricular block are established manifestations of Lyme disease. Endocarditis caused by Borrelia has been reported only twice previously, and in both cases, these were species (Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia bissettii) not present in North America. We report a unique case of mitral valve endocarditis caused by B burgdorferi.
