Polymyalgia rheumatica or Lyme disease?

Polymyalgia rheumatica or Lyme disease? Postgrad Med. 1995 Jan;97(1):161-170 Authors: Paparone PW Abstract Preview The presentation of Lyme disease may resemble that of polymyalgia rheumatica. What's more, the latter may occur in patients who have positive serologic findings for the former. In this case report, the author describes differential diagnosis in an elderly patient whose rheumatic complaints and blood chemistry profile alone could easily have led to misdiagnosis. Important points in evaluation and treatment are discussed. PMID: 29219773 [PubMed]
