What is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterial infection transmitted through ticks. The disease mainly acts on the skin, joints, heart, and nervous system. When Lyme disease extends to include the nervous system, it refers to Lyme Disease (Neuroborreliosis).
This condition is becoming increasingly reported in various parts of the world, including Lyme disease in India, though still underrecognized.
Lyme Disease is Caused By
- The bite of infected black-legged ticks (otherwise known as deer ticks)
- The bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi
- Rarely, during pregnancy, through mother-to-child transmission (not well-documented)
Lyme Disease is Spread By
- The bite of an infected tick which has fed on contaminated animals such as rodents or deer
- Most infections take place in grasslands, bushy, or woodland environments
Common Lyme Disease Symptoms
- Early signs develop within 3 to 30 days after the bite and can include:
- Erythema migrans (bullseye red rash)
- Fever, chills, fatigue, body aches
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Headache
Lyme Disease (Neuroborreliosis) symptoms can occur weeks or months later
- Facial paralysis (Bell’s palsy)
- Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Weakness in limbs
- Memory problems or cognitive impairment
- Vision disturbances
- Nerve pain or shooting pains
What is Lyme Disease (Neuroborreliosis)?
It is a neurological complication of Lyme disease when the bacteria penetrate the central or peripheral nervous system. This, if not treated in time, can cause serious long-term complications.
Lyme Disease Treatment in Conventional Medicine
Traditional Lyme disease treatment consists of:
- Antibiotics: Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, or Ceftriaxone (for more advanced or neurological involvement)
- Anti-inflammatory drugs: To relieve pain
- Steroids: Occasionally used to treat severe inflammation of nerves
Limitations
- Long-term antibiotic use may cause digestive and immune side effects
- Incomplete recovery is typical in late-stage neuroborreliosis
- Chronic symptoms tend to linger (referred to as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome)
