Lyme Disease An Evidence-based Approach

Spirochaetal infections somehow seem to take on larger-than-life roles. ‘The French disease’, a.k.a. syphilis, assumed almost mythic proportions. Initially brought back from the New World to the Old, perhaps as divine retribution for measles, smallpox and myriad other curses visited on North A...
