III. History

  1. 1975: Lyme Disease first reported in Lyme, Connecticut
    1. Cluster of new cases of Arthritis in children
  2. 1981: Borrelia Burgdorferi identified as cause

IV. Pathophysiology

  1. Borrelia Burgdorferi
    1. Causative Spirochete organism
    2. Carried by white tail deer
    3. Transmitted by Deer Ticks
    4. Natural reservoirs
      1. White-footed mouse and other small mammals
  2. Deer Ticks or Black Legged Tick
    1. Vectors for several infections
      1. Borrelia Burgdorferi (Lyme Disease)
      2. Babesia Microti (Babesiosis)
      3. Anaplasma phagocytophila (causes HGA)
        1. Prior: Ehrilichia phagocytophila (Ehrlichiosis)
    2. Tick species
      1. Ixodes Scapularis
      2. Ixodes pacificus (West coast)
  3. Deer Ticks have two year life cycle:
    1. Egg to Larva
    2. Larva to Nymph
    3. Nymph to Adult
  4. In endemic areas:
    1. Nymphs infected: 12-30%
    2. Adult ticks infected: 28-65%
  5. Nymphs outnumber adult ticks 10:1
    1. Nymphs are responsible for 90% of Lyme Disease cases
    2. Transmission relies on the time it takes for Borrelia to migrate from tick midgut to its Salivary Glands
      1. Nymphs must attach for >36-48 hours for transmission
      2. Adult ticks must attach for >48-72 hours for transmission

V. Differential Diagnosis

  1. Erythema Migrans
    1. See Annular Lesion
    2. Cellulitis
    3. Tinea Corporis
    4. Granuloma Annulare
    5. Arthropod Bite reaction
      1. Usually <5 cm, painful, develops in minutes to hours
      2. Rash is often pruritic
      3. Resolves within 48 hours without viral symptoms
  2. Other Ixodes tick (Deer Tick) borne infection
    1. Babesiosis
    2. Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis

VI. Signs and Symptoms: Stage 1 (Early localized disease)

  1. Less than 20% of people recall Tick Bite
  2. Localized Erythema Chronicum Migrans at Tick Bite site (present in 80% of cases)
    1. See Erythema Migrans
    2. Expanding red Macule or Papule
    3. Size >=5 cm at outer ring diameter
      1. Rapid and prolonged expansion is unique (typically increases in diameter to >10-16 cm)
    4. Central clearing is variably present
    5. Onset within 3-30 days (typically 7-14 days) of Tick Bite and fades after 3-4 weeks

      1. Strongly consider empiric treatment for Lymes Disease with Bell's Palsy (esp. bilateral) in Lyme endemic regions
    2. Lymphocytic Meningitis or Encephalitis
      1. Often affebrile, with prolonged illness (7 days instead of typical 2 days for Viral Meningitis)
    3. Pseudotumor Cerebri
    4. Headache
    5. Vision changes
    6. Weakness
    7. Paresthesias
    8. Radiculopathy

  6. Skin: Disseminated Erythema Migrans (most common Stage 2 finding)
    1. Multiple Erythema Migrans lesions (hematogenous spread of infection)
    2. Smaller lesions than with initial Erythema Migrans
    3. Lesions often lack central clearing
    4. Diffuse involvement (but spares palms and soles)
  7. Miscellaneous

    3. Monoarticular or asymmetric Oligoarticular Arthritis (especially knees; hips may also be involved)
    4. Fever is less common than with other Septic Arthritis
    5. Persistent Joint Pain in 10-20% of patients despite appropriate Antibiotic treatment
  2. Neurologic (10-15% of untreated patients)
    1. See Stage 2 neurologic conditions

IX. Labs: Modified Two Tiered Lyme Test Protocol (modified 2019)

  1. Tier 1: Initial Lyme Titer
    1. Obtain polyvalent enzyme immunoassay (EIA such as ELISA), or immunofluorescence assay (IF)
    2. Not needed if Erythema Migrans in endemic areas
    3. False Positive Rate is high
    4. Positive results are reflexed to confirmation testing
  2. Tier 2: Lyme confirmatory testing (if tier 1 test equivocal or positive)
    1. Option 1: Lyme Serology Second Generation Tests (approved by FDA, 2019, preferred)
      1. New pathway established for tests with better Test Sensitivity, Test Specificity and precision than the first test
      2. Since 2019, modified 2 tier confirmation is with another enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and recommended by CDC
    2. Option 2: Lyme Western Blot (conventional, older protocol, replaced by option 1)
      1. Western Blot for Lyme IgM and IgG has been historically used for confirmation before 2019
      2. Higher False Negatives than EIA testing in acute and early disseminated Lyme Disease
        1. False Negative in 60-75% of patients without disseminated disease (decreases to 10% in later stages)
      3. With Lyme Serology, Test Specificity: 99-100%
      4. IgG must be positive for symptoms >4 weeks

    2. Leukocytosis
    3. Anemia
  2. Comprehensive Metabolic panel
    1. Typically normal in Lyme Disease (but abnornal in Anaplasma and Babesia)
  3. Rheumatologic Testing

XII. Differential Diagnosis

  1. See Erythema Chronicum Migrans
  2. See Tick-Borne Illness
  3. See Deer Tick
  4. See Acute Monoarthritis
  5. Other Infections from Deer Ticks
    1. In addition to Lyme Disease, Deer Ticks transmit Babesiosis and Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis
    2. Consider Parasite stain and Serology for Babesia and Anaplasma in febrile patients
    3. Babesia and Anaplasma are more commonly associated with Anemia, Leukopenia or Neutropenia
      1. Thrombocytopenia is seen with anaplasma
  6. Other tick borne infections with similar presentations to Lyme Disease
    1. Lone Star Tick borne STARI

    3. Peripheral Neuropathy or radiculopathy
    4. New first-degree AV Block or Dysrhythmia
    5. New left-ventricular dysfunction
  2. However, avoid testing for Lyme Disease to explain behavioral disorders
    1. Avoid routine Lyme Disease Testing to explain psychiatric illness or behavioral disorders
  3. Information based on IDSA and CDC guidelines
    1. IDSA: Infectious Disease Society of America
    2. IDSA is considered standard of care recommendations

Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection you get from the bite of an infected tick. The first symptom is usually a rash, which may look like a bull's eye. As the infection spreads, you may have

  • A fever
  • A headache
  • Muscle and joint aches
  • A stiff neck
  • Fatigue

Lyme disease can be hard to diagnose because you may not have noticed a tick bite. Also, many of its symptoms are like those of the flu and other diseases. In the early stages, your health care provider will look at your symptoms and medical history, to figure out whether you have Lyme disease. Lab tests may help at this stage, but may not always give a clear answer. In the later stages of the disease, a different lab test can confirm whether you have it.

Antibiotics can cure most cases of Lyme disease. The sooner treatment begins, the quicker and more complete the recovery.

After treatment, some patients may still have muscle or joint aches and nervous system symptoms. This is called post-Lyme disease syndrome (PLDS). Long-term antibiotics have not been shown to help with PLDS. However, there are ways to help with the symptoms of PLDS, and most patients do get better with time.

NIH: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
Definition (NCI) An infectious disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Early manifestations of infection may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, late manifestations involving the joints, heart, and nervous system can occur.
Definition (MSH) An infectious disease caused by a spirochete, BORRELIA BURGDORFERI, which is transmitted chiefly by Ixodes dammini (see IXODES) and pacificus ticks in the United States and Ixodes ricinis (see IXODES) in Europe. It is a disease with early and late cutaneous manifestations plus involvement of the nervous system, heart, eye, and joints in variable combinations. The disease was formerly known as Lyme arthritis and first discovered at Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Definition (CSP) recurrent multisystemic infectious disease caused by a spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted chiefly by Ixodes ticks; it is a disease with early and late cutaneous manifestations plus involvement of the nervous system, heart, eye, and joints in variable combinations.
