Lyme Disease Greatly Underreported, CDC Says.

reports the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says “Lyme disease may be grossly under-reported in the United States,” noting “the tick-borne infection affects about 10 times as many Americans as previously indicated by confirmed case reports.” In a study of the years 2005 through 2010, researchers found “about 329,000 cases of Lyme disease occur every year,” and number “much higher than the 30,000 confirmed and probable Lyme cases reported to the CDC in 2010.” http://consumer.healthday.com/public-health-information-30/centers-for-disease-control-news-120/lyme-disease-in-u-s-is-under-reported-cdc-says-702231.html
