Dr. Cameron feels that the best way to get to know Lyme disease is through reviewing actual cases. In this Inside Lyme Podcast episode, he will be discussing 75-year-old Chinese man with a negative Lyme disease test.
Lamichhane and colleagues first discussed this case in the journal Case Reports in Infectious Diseases in 2018.
The man presented with a high fever, unsteady gait, encephalopathy, diffuse myalgia, and tachycardia. The doctors apparently did not request a western blot test after the initial negative Lyme disease test.
His doctors then ordered more than the screening Lyme disease test. His blood tests were now positive for Lyme disease and Babesia.
He was treated for Lyme disease but not for Babesia. He did well according to the authors.
I was concerned about the untreated Babesia.
