Abstract
Surveys indicate US residents spent more time outdoors in 2020 than in 2019, but fewer tick bite-related emergency department visits and Lyme disease laboratory tests were reported. Despite ongoing exposure, Lyme disease case reporting for 2020 might be artificially reduced due to coronavirus disease-associated changes in healthcare-seeking behavior.
摘要
调查显示，2020 年美国居民在户外活动的时间多于 2019 年，但报告的与蜱虫叮咬相关的急诊就诊次数和莱姆病实验室检测次数却较少。尽管接触仍在继续，但由于与新冠病毒相关的就医行为改变，2020 年莱姆病的报告病例可能会被人为减少。
