Overview

Lyme disease is divided into 3 stages and symptoms are stage specific. Symptoms include "bulls-eye" rash, with accompanying fever, malaise, and musculoskeletal pain (arthralgia or myalgia). It can progress to cardiovascular or neurological complications.

History and Symptoms

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 exists, but is uncommon.[2]
