I will be discussing a 4-year-old toddler with Lyme disease who was reported to the local County Social Services for Children and Youth.

This article was written by Pan and colleagues in the journal Case Rep Orthop.

He  presented to his pediatrician with a swollen knee, potential forearm fracture and a bruise on his buttocks.  He was placed in foster care.

The doctors determined he had Lyme disease . He was returned to his home.
