Lyme disease as a hidden cause of joint swelling in Danish patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks for a hidden cause of joint swelling in Danish patients - Lyme disease, a bacterial infection spread by ticks. If you have arthritis in just one or two joints, your doctors will check if Lyme disease might be the reason, which could lead to a different and more effective treatment.
