Abstract:
We describe the epidemiology of Lyme disease in Maryland for 1987 to 1990 when the number of cases reported grew from 23 to 448 and the number of cases meeting the CDC case definition grew from 23 to 238, as well as discuss the implications of increased reporting and diagnosis of Lyme disease.
