Article Synopsis
- Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S., chiefly affecting children aged 5 to 9, especially boys.
- The main symptom, erythema migrans, can be overlooked, increasing the chance of complications if not treated.
- Testing is recommended only when symptoms align with exposure in high-risk areas, and most cases can be effectively treated with a short course of oral antibiotics.
