  • “Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States and Europe. Lyme disease is caused by an infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which are carried by deer ticks. The bacteria are transmitted when a tick bites a person. In most people, treatment with antibiotics is very effective at eliminating symptoms, preventing complications of the disease, and curing the infection. Some symptoms improve rapidly with this treatment, whereas other symptoms gradually improve over weeks to months. This topic review discusses the treatment of Lyme disease.”
