Early treatmentEarly treatment
Figure 12 . An algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of the early eventssurrounding Lyme disease in the summer months. Serologic testing for Lymedisease has limited utility during the first 1 or 2 weeks of infection, and earlytreatment, without serologic testing, is recommended (Journal of ClinicalInvestigation 2004.)
