Comparison of Lyme Disease Prevalence and Reporting in and Endemic Area
ByCanLyme Team January 13, 2014April 21, 2023
Abstract Lyme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borne illness in the United States; however, controversy surrounding the diagnostic criteria has led to claims of both under-diagnosis and over-diagnosis of Lyme disease by physicians. While both result in errors in estimating disease risk, under-reporting of Lyme disease to public health agencies underestimates the risk and…
