WHAT IS LYME DISEASE?The name originates from the description of a number of patients from Lyme, Connecticut, United States of America. Although features of the condition have been recognised since the turn of the century, the full description was only given in 1977. Technically, Lyme disease is classified as azoonosis, being a condition transmitted to man by animals.
