Pia Forsberg - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Pia Forsberg is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, Linköping University, in Linköping, Sweden. Her work primarily focuses on the study of infectious diseases, particularly those transmitted by ticks, such as Lyme disease and other emerging tick-borne pathogens.

Research Contributions

Pia Forsberg has made significant contributions to the field of infectious diseases, with a particular focus on tick-borne infections. Her research includes the study of cytokine responses in patients with Neoehrlichia mikurensis infection, laboratory methods for detecting infectious agents in humans with tick-borne infections, and the prevalence of various pathogens in ticks. Her work has also addressed the outcomes in individuals bitten by ticks carrying diseases such as Babesia species and Borrelia burgdorferi. Through her studies, Forsberg has contributed to a better understanding of the clinical and serological outcomes of tick-borne diseases, aiding in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of these infections.
