A Rutgers Health physician-scientist publishes guidance for primary care doctors diagnosing and treating early Lyme disease, a bacterial infection. Annually, around 476,000 U.S. cases of Lyme disease are reported, with effective early treatment requiring prompt antibiotic intervention. Misdiagnosis is common due to variable symptoms and the sometimes absent bull’s-eye rash. Enhanced clinical guidelines from leading universities now focus on improving detection and management of the disease in its initial stages.

Could You Have Lyme Disease and Not Know It?

What is Lyme Disease: Lyme disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, also known as a deer or bear tick, which carries a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Initially, the disease causes rashes, fever, chills, headaches, fatigue, muscle pain, and swollen lymph nodes. If left untreated, it can lead to severe joint and nervous system pain, paralysis, mental fogginess, and inflammation of the heart and the membranes around the brain and spinal cord."
