The list of conditions mentioned by various sources as associated with Lyme disease includes:
Associated conditions are those which appear statistically related, but do not have a clear cause or effect relationship. Whereas the complications are caused by Lyme disease, and underlying causes may be causes of Lyme disease, the following list shows associated conditions that simply appear with higher frequency in people who have Lyme disease. In some cases, there may be overlap between this list and risk factors for Lyme disease. People with Lyme disease may be more likely to get a condition on the list of associated conditions, or the reverse may be true, or both. Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply coincidentally related to Lyme disease is not always clear. For general information, see Associated Condition Misdiagnosis.
