Lyme disease can present a number of particular difficulties in primary care, and these are often linked to clinical findings and the availability and timing of testing. In this podcast, Dr Roger Henderson discusses those and looks at Lyme disease’s three stages — early, disseminated and late — and whether it can be diagnosed clinically if erythema migrans is or is not present. He also looks at diagnostic difficulties and whether acute or convalescent serological testing is helpful. Treatment with antibiotics is also discussed along with prognostic indicators.
