Lyme Disease Symptoms

The Diagnosis of Lyme Disease is a Clinical Diagnosis of the "Presentation" which means the "Presentation of 'Symptomatology'", and the diagnosis of the "absence" of Lyme Disease is not to be diagnosed Serologically. IE: It is a "Clinical Diagnosis" and not a "Serological Diagnosis" which means that the determination of whether or not Lyme Disease is present is:

To be determined "only by" the presentation of the Symptomatologies; which means you "rely on" the "Symptoms of the Disease" to determine if Lyme Disease is present, and "not" the blood work.

The blood work is only to be used to "confirm" the presence of the disease and "not" to be used for a diagnosis or non-diagnosis of the disease. Again: Blood work is only to be used to confirm the Clinical Diagnosis, and is not to be used to diagnose Lyme Disease.
