The first stage of Lyme disease is considered the "primary" stage.

Alt. Names

Lyme disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Secondary Lyme disease develops within days to months after the tick bite, when the infection spreads via the lymph system or bloodstream.

Alt. Names

STAGE 3

Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of a deer tick. Tertiary Lyme disease occurs months to years after the initial infection with Lyme disease.

Alt. Names

Tertiary Lyme disease is a late, persistent inflammatory disease characterized by skin changes, neurological and musculoskeletal symptoms caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by the bite of a deer tick. Tertiary Lyme disease is indicated by chronic arthritis.
