Abstract

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S. Surveillance data from four states with a low-incidence of Lyme disease was evaluated. Most cases occurred after travel to high-incidence Lyme disease areas. Cases without travel-related exposure in low-incidence states differed epidemiologically; misdiagnosis may be common in these areas.

摘要

莱姆病是美国最常见的媒介传播疾病。对来自四个莱姆病低发州的监测数据进行了评估。大多数病例发生在前往莱姆病高发地区之后。在低发州没有与旅行相关暴露的病例在流行病学上有所不同；这些地区可能普遍存在误诊情况。
