An updated report reveals that doctors frequently miss Lyme disease in children aged 5-9, as children can develop chronic symptoms even with negative blood tests, leading to years of health problems affecting their brain, heart, and development.
-- Rx Lyme has published a report showing how often doctors miss Lyme disease in children, especially those between 5 and 9 years old. Children in this age group make up a large part of the 476,000 Lyme disease cases reported each year in America.

The report explains that children can have chronic Lyme disease even when their blood tests come back negative or normal. This makes it very hard for doctors to identify the root cause of their condition. When doctors miss the disease or take too long to find it, children can face health problems for many years.
Early signs of Lyme disease in children include fever, headache, feeling very tired, and a particular red rash on the skin. This rash can show up anywhere from three days to one month after a tick bite. If doctors don't find and treat the disease quickly, the germs can spread through the child's body, causing serious problems with the heart, brain, joints, and other important body parts.
The report stresses how important it is to detect and treat Lyme disease quickly. It also looks at different ways to help children who still feel sick after taking their medicine. These include eating healthy foods and making lifestyle changes that help the body fight the illness.
Places where children are most likely to get Lyme disease include grassy and wooded areas, with outbreaks generally being tied to specific geographic areas. In the UK, southern England and the Scottish Highlands have the most Lyme bacteria-carrying ticks. In the US, the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Upper Midwest, and Pacific Northwest are at the highest risk. However, the disease is mobile and can spread to new locations each year, so parents everywhere should be careful.
