Update on Lyme Disease

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. 

Guest: Stacey Rizza, M.D. 

Lyme Disease is a tick-borne illness commonly seen in various parts of the country. Despite its common occurrence in the primary care practice, it’s associated with confusion and controversy. From the presenting symptoms, occasional ambiguous serologic results, to managing patients with persistent symptoms following treatment, primary care clinicians are often frustrated with the management of patients who have or are concerned they have Lyme Disease. In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss what we know about Lyme Disease, what’s still uncertain, and how we should approach this health problem in our patients. Joining me for this podcast is Dr. Stacey Rizza, an infectious disease specialist at the Mayo Clinic.
