Lyme disease is rare in the U. K. but there is evidence of an increase in both prevalence of, and patient concern about, the infection. There are no published data characterising Lyme disease as it is seen in the U. ⋯ Screening enzyme immunoassay tests were negative in 39% and reference laboratory immunoblots were negative in 31% of patients, principally those with early infection. The majority of patients were cured with one course of antibiotic treatment, three patients had evidence of persistent infection after treatment and two required intravenous therapy. No cases of chronic Lyme disease were seen.
