Lyme disease, co-infections, and other tick borne illnesses are caused by a tick bite. Exposure to a tick can cause an acute infection, which is usually treated with antibiotics. In some individuals the acute infection may become a chronic illness. This can happen when the acute infection is not treated appropriately or when the acute infection has cleared, but the resulting inflammation continues. The symptoms in either scenario can be exactly the same and may require treatment in addition or instead of long-term antibiotic therapy. Dr. Milani utilizes state of the art testing, which can diagnose an active or chronic infection as well as indicate if it is an inflammation or immune issue.
