Criteria for Preventing Lyme Disease with Antibiotics
Preventing Lyme disease with antibiotics is not generally recommended but antibiotics may be used, according to a set of criteria approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Prevention of Lyme Disease
The prevention of Lyme disease means preventing tick bites that cause Lyme disease. To do so, use repellents, wear proper clothing and footwear and removeg ticks from yourself, pets and livestock.

Post Lyme Disease Syndrome
Post-Lyme disease syndrome, sometimes called chronic Lyme disease, is not well understood. Many researchers, physicians and patients disagree over which criteria should define post-Lyme disease syndrome.

Lyme Disease Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Lyme disease is made easier if a rash around the tick bite called Erythema Migrans or EM is present. If EM is not present there are some laboratory tests that can help pinpoint the disease but diagnosis is still complicated.

Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines
Lyme disease treatment is based on antibiotics, but which kind of antibiotic depends upon the age of the patient, the stage of Lyme disease, and the presence of any special considerations such as pregnancy.
