Lyme Disease in the Era of COVID-19: A Delayed Diagnosis and Risk for Complications
Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2021 We describe a patient with fever and myalgia who did not have COVID-19 but instead had Lyme disease. We propose that the co-occurrence of COVID-19 and Lyme disease during the spring of 2020 resulted in a delayed diagnosis of Lyme disease due to COVID-19 ...

A diagnostic classifier for gene expression-based identification of early Lyme disease
Communications Medicine, 2022 Servellita et al. develop a machine learning-based classifier to diagnose Lyme disease using gene expression data. The classifier achieves high sensitivity for early infections, even prior to positivity on antibody testing.
