Early Disseminated Lyme Disease

Early disseminated Lyme disease is a stage of this bacterial infection transmitted by ticks, in which the microorganism begins to spread from the site of the bite to other parts of the body.

Common causes: It originates from the bite of infected ticks, usually in areas with tall grass, woodlands, or areas with wildlife.

Common symptoms: It may be accompanied by skin lesions, fever, joint and muscle pains, fatigue, and, in some cases, neurological or cardiac discomfort.

Who evaluates it? The infectious disease specialist is the indicated professional, with the collaboration of the internist for follow-up. After a tick bite with symptoms that spread, it is advisable to seek medical care promptly.
