| identification of lyme disease. | the identification of lyme disease is an important, rewarding process. in early disease, the presence of em, the geographic location of the patient, and the time of year are critical in assessing the likelihood of lyme disease. beyond this, it is important to have a high index of suspicion in early lyme disease, because the rash may be atypical or absent, the early flu-like features can be nonspecific, and at this stage seroreactivity to b. burgdorferi may be lacking. treatment is always with an ... | 1994 | 8016416 |

| persisting complaints attributed to chronic lyme disease: possible mechanisms and implications for management. | a better understanding of the natural history of lyme disease and of possible causes for persisting symptoms other than active infection is needed to optimize management of patients with persistent symptoms. review of patients seen at a lyme disease referral center and of the immunologic and clinical literature on lyme disease suggests most symptoms that persist after therapy can be explained by one or more of seven proposed pathogenetic mechanisms, only one of which includes active ongoing infe ... | 1994 | 8166157 |
| tick-borne infections. what starts as a tiny bite may have a serious outcome. | tick-borne illnesses are being reported increasingly often. unlike lyme disease, which tends to be indolent, rocky mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis can kill and so must be recognized and treated promptly. these diseases require clinical diagnosis, because laboratory confirmation with antibody tests takes too long. tetracycline hydrochloride, doxycycline (doryx, vibramycin), or chloramphenicol (chloromycetin) treatment is effective. other diseases (eg, babesiosis, tularemia) are encountere ... | 1994 | 8153039 |
