Lyme disease can be passed on through tick bites and can lead to a range of symptoms including fatigue, fever, a characteristic “bull’s-eye” rash and muscle and joint aches. If left untreated, it can progress and affect various body systems, leading to more severe complications. If you have been bitten by a tick, we encourage you to seek medical attention with us as soon as possible to ensure that any possible transference of Lyme disease is stopped in its tracks by Dr. John Abroon.
Dr. Abroon employs laboratory testing to assess the presence of the infection accurately. Our internist may recommend specific blood tests, such as the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and the Western blot test, which detect antibodies produced by the body in response to the infection. The results of these tests can help determine the right treatment for you.
If you have been bitten by a tick, or are experiencing symptoms associated with Lyme disease, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us immediately. The best way to treat it is to detect it as early as possible, and to stop it in its tracks before it affects your overall health in a more serious manner. We invite you to call us at 212-288-0900 to schedule your Lyme and tick bite analysis in New York, New York.
