Chronic and Persistent Lyme Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When people talk about chronic and persistent Lyme disease, they are referring to prolonged symptoms that some people associate with Lyme disease, an infection transmitted by the bite of certain ticks. It is a topic with nuances and debate within the medical community.
How it may present: the infection usually starts with a skin lesion, fever, joint or muscle aches, and fatigue; some people describe persistent discomfort after the initial phase.
Origin: it is linked to a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks in certain geographic regions.
Who to see: the infectious disease specialist is the go-to specialist for evaluating infections of this type, with support from the internist in prolonged or complex cases. If you have persistent symptoms after possible tick exposure, the most prudent thing is to have a professional evaluate them carefully.
