Lyme disease

·77 words·1 min

Lyme disease is .. as they say .. overdiagnosed and underdiagnoed.  I’ve certainly missed it.   I’ve also ordered more Lyme antibody tests than I would like.  In this region, Lyme disease is very common.  This article - based on a study of data from Wisconsin - determines that Lyme testing is ordered far more frequently than necessary.  I would agree.  Yet the regional variation in the incidence of Lyme disease is significant.  Your mileage may therefore vary.
