Overview
The first description of Lyme disease caused by B. mayonii among 6 patients from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota in February 2016.[1]
Historical Perspective
- February 2016 - The first description of Lyme disease caused by B. mayonii among 6 patients from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. The discovery was made when 6 samples (5 blood and 1 synovial fluid) out of approximately 9,000 samples suspected to have Lyme disease between 2012 and 2014 were found to contain bacteria that were genetically distinct from B. burgdorferi.[1]
- The term mayonii refers to the Mayo Clinic medical center in Minnesota, where genetic testing for the organism was first conducted.[1]
Associated Disease
- B. mayonii is thought to cause Lyme disease.[1]
Differentiating B. mayonii from B. burgdorferi
The following table demonstrates key clinical and epidemiological features that distinguish B. mayonii from B. burgdorferi:[1]
| B. burgdorferi | B. mayonii | |
| Transmission | Tick bite | Tick bite |
| Distribution in the USA | Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions | Midwest region |
| Bacteria Concentration in Blood (Spirochetemia) | Lower | Higher |
| Early Symptoms | Fever, headache, rash, neck pain | Fever, headache, rash, neck pain |
| Late Symptoms | Arthritis | Arthritis |
| Nausea / Vomiting? | No | Yes |
| Rash Characteristics | Bull's-eye target lesion | Diffuse rash |
| Diagnosis | Serology or PCR | Serology or PCR |
| Treatment | Doxycycline | Doxycycline |
