Of 1770 children undergoing emergency department evaluation for Lyme disease, 362 (20.5%) children had Lyme disease. Of those with an available tick bite history, only a minority of those with Lyme disease had a recognized tick bite (60/325; 18.5%, 95% confidence interval 14.6-23.0%). Lack of a tick bite history does not reliably exclude Lyme disease.
在 1770 名因莱姆病接受急诊科评估的儿童中，362 名（20.5%）儿童患有莱姆病。在那些有可用蜱虫叮咬史的儿童中，只有少数患有莱姆病的儿童有被确认为蜱虫叮咬（60/325；18.5%，95%置信区间 14.6-23.0%）。没有蜱虫叮咬史并不能可靠地排除莱姆病。
