Dr. Cameron feels that the best way to get to know Lyme disease is through reviewing actual cases. In this Inside Lyme Podcast episode, he will be discussing a 5-week-old girl with Lyme disease.

This case was first described in the journal Pediatrics, written by Handel and colleagues in 2019.

The doctors were concerned that the girl might suffer from Lyme meningitis.  This is an uncommon but important concern for the doctor treating Lyme disease.  The spinal tap was not successful.  The doctors treat for Lyme meningitis with intravenous antibiotics since they were still concerned the baby might have Lyme meningitis.  The girl was discharged from the hospital after two weeks of intravenous ceftriaxone.
