Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. It is transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, which must be attached for over 36 hours to transmit the disease. Typical symptoms include a characteristic bullseye rash called erythema migrans, as well as fatigue, fever, headache and joint and muscle aches. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, heart or nervous system. While most cases are treated successfully with antibiotics, testing may be inaccurate during early stages and the disease is most common in the Northeast, Upper Midwest and Northern California.

Thank you for joining this video chat about Children with Seizures and Modern Treatments with Elaine Wyllie, MD
Patients with epilepsy may experience seizures that are difficult to control despite diligent treatment with medications. When medications are not keeping the symptoms at bay, or when they are causing undesirable side effects, then sometimes more advanced solutions are the answer. At Cleveland Clinic’s Epilepsy Center, we strongly believe the burden of epilepsy extends beyond a “seizure count”. Join Cleveland Clinic pediatric epileptologist Elaine Wyllie, MD, to explore the most modern treatments for children with seizures.
