I highlight that Lyme disease is prevalent across temperate regions and that our tracking methods at Johns Hopkins are evolving to include animal data, which often predicts human cases more accurately. I also share findings from our recent study indicating that 10-20% of patients may experience post-treatment Lyme disease symptoms, which can significantly impact their quality of life. I encourage clinicians to take thorough travel histories and to consider Lyme disease when patients present with febrile illness during peak seasons. Lastly, I invite anyone interested in participating in our ongoing research studies to reach out for more information.
