Lyme Disease The Mystery Illness
Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed and can mimic many different conditions which can cause physicians to miss the proper diagnosis. Primary care physicians may not be equipped to identify chronic Lyme Disease as being caused by a bacteria illness.
Dr. Randall Feuer specializes in patients with chronic Lyme Disease and other bit-borne illnesses.
Often misdiagnosed, patients seek answers
It Starts With A Bite
An initial bite from an infected tick carrying Lyme Disease may show typical symptoms that include fever, headache, fatigue, and oftentimes, a characteristic “bullseye” skin rash called erythema migrans which appears within 30 days of an infectious tick bite. Unfortunately, though, that is not always the case. There may not be a tell-tale sign of a bite.
Vectors of Lyme Disease
Traditionally in medicine, a vector is an organism that does not cause disease itself but spreads infection by conveying pathogens from one host to another. We find vectors for Lyme disease all around us.
