[[Lyme disease]] is divided into 3 stages and symptoms are stage specific. Initial symptoms include "bulls-eye" [[rash]], with accompanying constitutional symptoms. It can progress to [[cardiovascular]] or [[neurological]] complications.
[[Lyme disease]] is divided into 3 stages and the symptoms are stage specific. Initial symptoms include bullseye [[rash]] called [[erythema migrans]], with accompanying flu-like symptoms. Lyme disease can progress to [[cardiovascular]], [[neurological]], [[dermatological]] and/or [[musculoskeletal]] manifestations. Multiple [[erythema migrans]] develops as [[Disseminated disease|disease disseminates]] throughout the body. Most common [[neurological]] manifestation includes [[lymphocytic]] [[meningitis]] and [[cranial nerve palsies]] (usually [[facial nerve palsy]]). Dermatological manifestation includes borrelial lymphocytoma and [[acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans]] appearing in [[Lyme disease history and symptoms#Symptoms|stage 2]] and [[Lyme disease history and symptoms#Symptoms|stage 3 Lyme disease]] respectively. [[Cardiac]] manifestation include [[Lyme carditis]]. [[Musculoskeletal]] manifestation include [[Lyme arthritis]]. There is a difference in clinical features of [[Lyme disease]] in patients living in different geographical regions depending on the genospecies of [[Borrelia burgdorferi]] sensu lato complex causing it.

Overview

Lyme disease is divided into 3 stages and the symptoms are stage specific. Initial symptoms include bullseye rash called erythema migrans, with accompanying flu-like symptoms. Lyme disease can progress to cardiovascular, neurological, dermatological and/or musculoskeletal manifestations. Multiple erythema migrans develops as disease disseminates throughout the body. Most common neurological manifestation includes lymphocytic meningitis and cranial nerve palsies (usually facial nerve palsy). Dermatological manifestation includes borrelial lymphocytoma and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans appearing in stage 2 and stage 3 Lyme disease respectively. Cardiac manifestation include Lyme carditis. Musculoskeletal manifestation include Lyme arthritis. There is a difference in clinical features of Lyme disease in patients living in different geographical regions depending on the genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex causing it.

History

  • The incubation period from infection to the onset of symptoms is usually 1–2 weeks, but can be much shorter (days), or much longer (months to years). Symptoms most often occur from May through September because the nymphal stage of the tick is responsible for most cases.[1] Asymptomatic infection can happen, but is uncommon.[2]
  • The specific areas of focus when obtaining patient history are outlined below:
    • Tick bite
    • Vacation, living, or working environment in endemic areas
    • Spending time outdoors (especially in woody or grassy areas)

Symptoms

Lyme disease is divided into 3 stages and symptoms are stage specific.

  • Stage 1 - Early localized disease
  • Stage 2 - Early disseminated disease
  • Stage 3 - Late disseminated disease

Stage 1 - Early localized disease

Features of early localized disease includes erythema migrans and flu-like symptoms.

Stage 2 - Early disseminate disease

Features of early disseminated disease can be divided by organ system and include:

Disseminated Lyme disease, multiple rash - Source: CDC.gov

Stage 3 - Late disseminated disease
