Expert opinion from Sanju Sarangan
Doctor of Medicine (MBBS) · 2 years of experience · India
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection disease that spreads through the notes of ticks that are infected. There are 3 stages of the disease. Early localized, disseminated and late disseminated. The 1st stage occurs initially with symptoms which include fever, chills, rashes, body pain and the typical bullseye rash seen in the body. Stage 2 or the disseminated stage is when the disease further spreads and we begin to see more rashes, body pain, poor memory and sometimes meningoencephalitis and even Bell’s palsy. On progression, it can lead to even AV block.
