Overview
Lyme disease is a vector-borne disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick. An estimated 476,000 patients are diagnosed with and treated for Lyme disease annually in the United States. While most people with Lyme disease fully recover after a short course of antibiotics, about 5 to 10 percent of patients may experience prolonged symptoms that can last months to years. Many patients are concerned that their long-term symptoms may be due to Lyme disease. During this COCA Call, presenters will share a brief overview of Lyme disease, provide a diagnostic and management framework for patients with prolonged symptoms and concerns about Lyme disease, and review new clinical tools and resources to help support these patients.
