A patient with Lyme arthritis presenting in general practice
21 Feb 2013

Infection in humans takes place through tick bites. The work-up of Lyme arthritis should include a careful history including residence in, or time spent visiting, an endemic region, previous history of tick bite(s), and erythema migrans.
