Summary (generated — provider review required)

Lyme disease (Borrelia) and tick-borne co-infections (Bartonella, Babesia) can produce overlapping multisystem, relapsing-remitting presentations. Persistent symptoms after treatment ("PTLDS") remain debated. Co-infection patterns (e.g., air hunger with Babesia; neuropsychiatric/vascular features with Bartonella) are pattern-level associations, not diagnostic criteria.

The original source document remains the source of truth. Generated summaries are not authoritative.
