<br /> Update 6/6/22 – there is ongoing work to determine the optimal treatment for meningitis in Lyme between doxy and ceftriaxone. The original episode recording did not make this clear – my apologies. The 2021 IDSA guideline suggests that you could use either agent. This episode was edited to reflect this change.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Lyme disease prevalence continues to rise – especially in places where we didn’t see it before (like Ohio!). this podcast episode focuses on making the diagnosis, the different stages of disease, as well as when to prophylaxis, treat, and how testing works – all in under 15 minutes.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://pemblog.com">PEMBlog.com</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/pemtweets">Follow @PEMTweets on Twitter</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://Facebook.com/pemtweets">Check out the Facebook page</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Helpful Diagnostic Resources<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/tickbornediseases/lyme.html">CDC Lyme Disease Resource</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/tickbornediseases/tickID.html">CDC Tick ID – which tick bit me?</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> References<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Shapiro ED.
