Overview
Lyme disease must be differentiated from babesiosis, leptospirosis, mononucleosis, viral meningitis, and chronic diseases such as SLE, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Differentiating Lyme disease from other tick-borne diseases
Lyme disease must be differentiated from other diseases that may cause arthralgia, fever, and skin manifestations and that are associated with a history of tick exposure.
Disease | Organism | Vector | Symptoms | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bacterial Infection | ||||
Borreliosis (Lyme Disease) [1] | Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex and B. mayonii | I. scapularis, I. pacificus, I. ricinus, and I. persulcatus | Erythema migrans, flu-like illness(fatigue, fever), Lyme arthritis, neuroborreliosis, and carditis. | |
Relapsing Fever [2] | Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF): | Borrelia duttoni, Borrelia hermsii, and Borrelia parkerii | Ornithodoros species | Consistently documented high fevers, flu-like illness, headaches, muscular soreness or joint pain, altered mental status, painful urination, rash, and rigors. |
Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) : | Borrelia recurrentis | Pediculus humanus | ||
Typhus (Rickettsia) | ||||
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever | Rickettsia rickettsii | Dermacentor variabilis, Dermacentor andersoni | Fever, altered mental status, myalgia, rash, and headaches. | |
Helvetica Spotted Fever [3] | Rickettsia helvetica | Ixodes ricinus | Rash: spotted, red dots. Respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, cough), muscle pain, and headaches. | |
Ehrlichiosis (Anaplasmosis) [4] | Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia ewingii | Amblyomma americanum, Ixodes scapularis | Fever, headache, chills, malaise, muscle pain, nausea, confusion, conjunctivitis, or rash (60% in children and 30% in adults). | |
Tularemia [5] | Francisella tularensis | Dermacentor andersoni, Dermacentor variabilis | Ulceroglandular, glandular, oculoglandular, oroglandular, pneumonic, typhoidal. | |
Viral Infection | ||||
Tick-borne meningoencephalitis [6] | TBEV virus | Ixodes scapularis, I. ricinus, I. persulcatus | Early Phase: Non-specific symptoms including fever, malaise, anorexia, muscle pains, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Second Phase: Meningitis symptoms, headache, stiff neck, encephalitis, drowsiness, sensory disturbances, and potential paralysis. | |
Colorado Tick Fever [7] | CTF virus | Dermacentor andersoni | Common symptoms include fever, chills, headache, body aches, and lethargy. Other symptoms associated with the disease include sore throat, abdominal pain, vomiting, and a skin rash. A biphasic fever is a hallmark of Colorado Tick Fever and presents in nearly 50% of infected patients. | |
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever | CCHF virus | Hyalomma marginatum, Rhipicephalus bursa | Initially infected patients will likely feel a few of the following symptoms: headache, high fever, back and joint pain, stomach pain, vomiting, flushed face, red throat petechiae of the palate, and potentially changes in mood as well as sensory perception. | |
Protozoan Infection | ||||
Babesiosis [8] | Babesia microti, Babesia divergens, Babesia equi | Ixodes scapularis, I. pacificus | Non-specific flu-like symptoms. |
