DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aal2717
Abstract: Metabolic profiling provides a biochemical signature to objectively differentiate two illnesses with nearly identical clinical presentations, early Lyme disease and STARI. Avoiding rash decisions The iconic bulls eye rash is associated with Lyme disease, but… read more here.
