Lyme Arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks, primarily the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) found on deer and mice. The disease often manifests as joint swelling and pain, particularly in the knees. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can help prevent long-term complications.
