A new approach to diagnosing Lyme disease could help people receive treatment sooner, reducing the risk of long-term complications.<\/p>\n

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria in the genus Borrelia<\/em> and is transmitted to people through tick bites. Initial symptoms may include a fever, headache or loss of energy, which can develop into ongoing fatigue and aches, particularly if not promptly treated using antibiotics.<\/p>\n

Doctors can diagnose the condition if they spot its distinctive bullseye-shaped rash, but around 30 per cent of people with Lyme disease don\u2019t develop it<\/a>.\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
