While the causes of Lyme infection-associated chronic illnesses (IACI) remain uncertain, it is clear that patient symptoms are deserving of improved diagnosis and treatment, especially in this era of significant advances in medical science. This is the underlying reason for this consensus study—to evaluate and call attention to the existing evidence base associated with Lyme IACI and in doing so, help to frame the gaps in knowledge and the potential for innovative approaches to better understand, diagnose, and treat these diverse sequelae of Lyme disease.
