Aberrant T-cell phenotypes in a cohort of patients with post-treatment Lyme disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Post-treatment Lyme Disease (PTLD) is a poorly understood complication of Borrelia burgdorferi infection with significant patient morbidity. Characterized by fatigue, generalized myalgias, and cognitive impairment, PTLD symptomatology closely resembles ...

Lyme Disease

Annals of Internal Medicine
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, and the range of its tick vector continues to expand. Most Lyme disease cases are diagnosed with the onset of the erythema migrans rashes, which can be single or multiple and vary from a homogeneous erythema to bull's-eye patterns.

Lyme Disease

New England Journal of Medicine, 1989
Within the last decade, Lyme borreliosis has emerged as a complex new infection whose distribution is worldwide. The disorder is caused by a recently recognized spirochete, B. burgdorferi, transmitted by ticks of the I. ricinus complex. Certain species of mice are critical in the life cycle of the spirochete, and deer appear to be crucial to the tick ...

Lyme disease [PDF]

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2002
Lyme disease is due to infection with a tick-borne spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. Risk for infection is confined to regions that contain the Ixodid tick vector. Characteristic skin, musculoskeletal, cardiac, ocular, and neurologic disorders are associated with the local, early dissemination and late stages of infection. Neurologic involvement can be

Estimating the Frequency of Lyme Disease Diagnoses, United States, 2010–2018

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
By using commercial insurance claims data, we estimated that Lyme disease was diagnosed and treated in ≈476,000 patients in the United States annually during 2010–2018. Our results underscore the need for accurate diagnosis and improved prevention.
