Primary Lyme Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Primary Lyme disease corresponds to the initial phase of Lyme disease, an infection transmitted by the bite of certain ticks and which, at this stage, usually shows up on the skin and with mild general symptoms.
Common symptoms: The most characteristic is a reddish patch that gradually grows around the bite, sometimes accompanied by fever, headache, fatigue, or muscle discomfort.
When to see a doctor? After a tick bite, or if a skin lesion appears that expands along with general malaise, it is worth seeking early evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist and the internist are the indicated professionals to study this condition and guide follow-up according to each situation.
