Lyme disease is caused by certain Borrelia bacteria that are transmitted by the bite of an infected blacklegged (Ixodes) tick. In the United States, over 95% of reported Lyme disease cases occur in 15 states, although incidence is increasing in neighboring states.
Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, joint pain and a skin rash, and if not addressed early, the infection can progress to impact joints, the heart, and the nervous system. For the latest information and guidance on prevention and treatment, refer to the AMA’s extensive resources.
