BACKGROUND
Making the diagnosis of Lyme disease today has become increasingly complicated. Many physicians feel that Lyme is being constantly overdiagnosed and that too m any cases with so called soft evidence are being treated inappropriately.(1,2) (By soft evidence, I refer to a range of vague complaints running from chronic fatigue through fibromyalgia and depression.) On the other hand, there is a growing population that suffers from very real physical and emotional symptoms, but have found it difficult to prove that they have any identifiable disease despite the fact that, in many cases, all their symptoms date back to a tick bite.

Medical research and popular literature reflect an ever-increasing number of reports on this topic.(3,4) In addition to the dilemma of making the correct diagnosis, the question of appropriate, effective management and cure has also become increasingly controversial.
