title: Lyme disease: a clinical update.
abstract: With adequate attention to specifics and details, the diagnosis and management of Lyme disease are usually relatively straight-forward. Still, there can be subtleties--for instance, in determining precisely what pathogen a tick bite transmitted, whether a patient's arthralgia is truly Lyme arthritis, or whether "positive" serologies represent refractory Lyme disease.
