Yes, there is. As people get it from the bites of ticks, it is sometimes called Tick Bite Fever. That is rather confusing because another fever caused by a different bug and carried by a different tick is also called Tick Bite Fever in Africa. African Tick Bite Fever is caused by Rickettsia. Lyme Disease is caused by Borrelia. Like African Tick Bite Fever, it is possible for a person to be ill with it for years, as it is very difficult to treat, and there are some nasty complications associated with it. There is an article on it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease
