MCQ Infection 19

on with 0 comments



A 17-year-old white male comes to your office worried about Lyme disease. He recently returned from a camp in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where he went hiking in the woods. He recalls no tick bite, but about 1 week after returning home he developed a low-grade fever, myalgias, and fatigue. He has had these symptoms for 1 week when he comes in to see you. A physical examination is completely normal.

The single most important diagnostic clue in establishing the diagnosis of Lyme disease is:


A) new-onset bundle-branch block.
B) nuchal rigidity compatible with meningitis.
C) high, spiking fevers.
D) erythema migrans.
E) acute arthritis of a large joint.
