Overview
Lyme disease is a worldwide epidemic, with over 300,000 new cases each year in the US alone. Lyme disease is expanding geographically, impacting over 80 countries and all 50 US states, and endemic in regions including the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Upper-Midwest, Northern California and Pacific Northwest. When diagnosed in its earliest phase the outcome of infection is generally favorable. However, many cases are misdiagnosed, and treatments are delayed and/or inadequate. An estimated 10-20% of individuals suffer from persistent symptoms. The clinical practice of medicine of all manifestations of Lyme disease is challenging. This one-day symposium provides the latest information on Lyme disease and tick-borne disease in the era of COVID-19 and will help health practitioners better understand disease complexities and improve patient care.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This activity is intended for general practitioners, family practice, rheumatology, infectious disease, nurses, nurse practitioners and other health providers who may see patients with Lyme disease and tick-borne disease.
