Tick
and Vector-Borne Coinfections
The
following is a basic list including some, but not all coinfections. Note:
Multiple infections may be transmitted at one time by a single tick.
(Quote from Krause, et. al., JAMA 1996 "The number of symptoms and duration of
illness in patients with concurrent Lyme disease and Babesiosis are greater than
in patients with either infection alone."
Added note: In fact, all coinfections complicate diagnosis and treatment.
