About Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks.
Later signs and symptoms. If untreated, new signs and symptoms of Lyme infection might appear in the following weeks to months. These include: 1  Erythema migrans appearing in other areas of your body. 2  Joint pain. 3  Bouts of severe joint pain and swelling are especially likely to affect your knees, but the pain can shift from one joint to another. 4  Neurological problems.
