Consists of a rash, arthritis and neurological and cardiac manifestations. See ' Borrelia burgdorferi'.
A tick-borne bacterial infection where there are neurological and systemic symptoms of pain, weakness and lethargy.
caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, which was cultured from the midgut of Ixodes ticks in the mid-1980s. Named after a small town of Lyme in Connecticut where in the mid-1970s this diesease was initially identified. (More? NCBI Coffee Break Lyme Disease)
is caused by a type of bacteria (spirochaete) which is carried by a tick found on wild animals which may cause a transient arthritis often treated with antibiotics. It was first described in the town of Lyme, USA. Further info.
Recommendation Bacteria / Pathogen Testing by PCR"US Biotek lab offers a Lyme/Tick Panel (Blood or Tissue Biopsy) which tests for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme Disease), Babesia microti (Babesiosis), Ehrlichia chaffeensis (Ehrlichiosis) and Rickettsia rickettsii (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever)..."
Disease transmitted through the bites of ticks
a bacterial infection (Borellia burgdorfer) which is spread by the deer tick. The initial infection mimics the flu, but long term it can cause a debilitating arthritis.
an acute inflammatory disease characterized by a rash with joint swelling and fever; caused by bacteria carried by the bite of a deer tick
Caused by infection with Borrelia burburgdorferi, it can cause chronic illness with multiple, varying symptoms. It is transmitted by deer ticks and is a hazard in the United States. Laboratory tests for Borrelia, and in fact most intracellular parasites, are not very accurate, so this is an under-diagnosed disease, since it depends mainly on clinical evaluation and the patient recalling any tick bites in the past few years. A vaccine is under development. An overview can be found at: (BipolarWeb folder: http://www.aldf.com/).
transmitted from the bite of a deer tick, this bacterium subjects the victim to a circular rash with a clear center area. Other early warning signs are flu-like symptoms: fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle or joint pains. Within weeks to months of the onset of the rash, more serious symptoms occur: heart abnormalities, meningitis, encephalitis, and facial palsy. The first reported case of Lyme disease in 1982 was in the Long Island area, and subsequent cases were reported in Hudson Valley, Ulster and Duchess Counties, and in Canada. Wearing protective clothing, long sleeves and putting pants inside the socks when outdoors, using insect and tick repellent containing the chemical DEET, are ways to prevent Lyme disease.
A disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi in which arthritis is often a prominent symptom. Rash, heart disease, and nervous system involvement may also occur.
Disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, carried by the deer tick.
A specific bacterial infection transmitted by a tick. Lyme disease can cause arthritic problems, as well as heart, brain, and nerve complications.

A potentially fatal disease spread by ticks, usually in eastern woodlands.
the infectious and biotoxin illness caused by carriage of the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, following a tick bite. Both over-diagnosed and underdiagnosed, a significant contributor to chronic fatiguing illnesses.
A disease caused by bacteria transmitted through the bite of a tick; characterized by fever, rash, and inflammation of the heart and joints.
A serious illness caused by the bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is carried to humans by the Deer Tick ( Ixodes scapularis). As of 1997 data, the Minnesota Department of Health reports Lyme disease exposure from St. Louis and Lake counties but not Cook. Other tick-borne diseases that occur in Minnesota include Babesiosis and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis (HGE).
A multi-stage, multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, a spiral-shaped bacterium that is most commonly transmitted by a tick bite.
A tick-transmitted inflammatory disorder that begins with a characteristic skin rash, and may be followed weeks to months later by neurologic, cardiac, or joint abnormalities.
a disease, caused by a tick bite, that can affect many organs. Lyme disease can affect the nervous system and cause headache symptoms.
A bacterial disease transmitted by infected ticks. Human beings may come into contact with infected ticks during outdoor activities (camping, hiking). Symptoms include fatigue, chills, fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes and a skin rash (in a circular pattern). Long-term problems include arthritis, nervous system abnormalities, irregular heart rhythm and meningitis. Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics or prevented with the use of a vaccine recently licensed by the Food and Drug Administration.

disease that affects the joints, nervous system, and heart that is transmitted by the deer tick and is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi
A bacterial disease caused by the micro-organism (spirochete) Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacterium was discovered in 1982, although the clinical disease was first described in 1977. Infection occurs after the bite of an infected tick. The incubation period is approximately 14 days. Symptoms include a large circular red rash at the bite site (50-60% of cases), malaise, fever, headache, muscle aches and swollen lymph nodes. If untreated may progress to arthritis and compromise heart function. Some symptoms and signs of Lyme disease may not appear until weeks, months, or years after a tick bite. Such symptoms may include nervous system abnormalities such as numbness, pain, Bell's palsy, and meningitis.
A bacterial infection caused by infected ticks, usually by a deer tick bite.
Lyme disease is a clinical disorder caused by a microscopic organism, spread by ticks.
a disease transmitted by the bite of tick; characterised by skin changes, flulike symptoms, and joint inflammation
A disease caused by a bacterium (Borellia burgdorferi) and transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick. Early symptoms can include, but are not necessarily restricted to, a slowly expanding red rash and flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, slight fever and swollen glands. Advanced symptoms include arthritis, irregular heartbeat, severe headaches and loss of sensation.
Tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.
Recommendation Vitamin A" Vitamin A deficiency appears to be both a consequence of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi infection) and a factor in the resulting arthritis susceptibility..."
A disease spread by deer ticks characterized at first by a skin rash, headache and fever, and later by arthritis and heart damage.
a disease transmitted by a tick bite; characterized by skin changes, flulike symptoms, and joint inflammation (see Arthritis).
Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in North America and Europe, and the fastest-growing infectious disease in the United States. It is named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut where a cluster of cases was identified in 1975, although clinical features of the disease had been described in Europe as early as 1909. Lyme disease has now been reported in 49 of 50 states in the U.S, and on every continent except Antarctica.
