Characterising DSCATT: A case series of Australian patients with debilitating symptom complexes attributed to ticks

CONCLUSION: This is the first case series of patients with Debilitating Symptom Complexes Attributed to Ticks. They had high rates of other medically unexplained syndromes, and no evidence of acute Lyme disease, or any common organic disease process. Debilitating Symptom Complexes Attributed to Ticks remains medically unexplained, and may therefore be due to an as yet unidentified cause, or may be considered a medically unexplained syndrome similar to conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome.PMID:34465249 | DOI:10.1177/00048674211043788
