Tertiary Lyme Disease treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Tertiary Lyme disease corresponds to the late phase of Lyme disease, an infection transmitted by the bite of certain ticks. When the infection is not treated, it can affect organs and systems over time.

Possible late manifestations: Recurrent joint discomfort, neurological changes or involvement of other body systems, which can appear long after the bite.

When to seek care? If you remember having had a tick bite or a characteristic rash and then have persistent symptoms, it is worth mentioning it at a visit.

Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist is the one who studies this type of infection and its stages. Faced with prolonged symptoms with a history of tick exposure, a professional evaluation helps clarify the picture.
