Proposed research classification criteria for Lyme disease in infection associated chronic illness studies.

Background: Research on patients with persistent symptoms despite prior treatment for Lyme disease can be challenging to interpret given the diversity of criteria selected to characterize Lyme disease and to define the syndrome of those with persistent symptoms. Because most research studies only include patients with well-documented prior Lyme disease, the generalizability of the study results is limited, excluding the larger group of patients often seen in community practice who do not meet these stringent enrollment criteria. Researchers at the Lyme and other Tick-borne Diseases Clinical Trials Network (LTD-CTN) recognized early on that a research classification system was needed to facilitate the design of studies that are more inclusive.

Lyme disease (LD), caused by , is a tick-borne illness that can lead to Lyme carditis, which most commonly presents as a high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. While conduction abnormalities are well-documented, LD has also been implicated in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, though this manifestation remains rare and under-recognized. We present the case of a 57-year-old female with newly diagnosed heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and first-degree AV block, who initially presented with nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

There is a complex relationship between infections and autoimmune disease, however, the association of AOSD with lyme disease is not well established. Here we present a case of AOSD in a 29-year-old male with a recent history of lyme disease.

A A Pract
March 2025
From the Department of Pediatric Anesthesiology, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Pediatric neuropathic pain can be difficult to treat, may require a multimodal approach, and is often guided by adult literature given the paucity of pediatric studies. A healthy adolescent male presented with acute onset of severe bilateral lower extremity neuropathic pain diagnosed as erythromelalgia secondary to Lyme disease. After standard medication regimens failed to control his symptoms, popliteal nerve blocks improved pain control and subhypnotic doses of propofol provided significant pain relief.
