Lyme Disease

Originally Aired Thursday, April, 2014

Each year an estimated three hundred thousand Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease. If the diagnosis is confirmed early enough, the disease can be treated with short-term antibiotics. But if Lyme goes untreated, symptoms can progress. On this episode of Conversations LIVE our panel of experts will continue our discussion on Lyme disease with a focus on symptoms, diagnosis and treatment in humans.
