Tick identified as an adult or nymphal I. scapularis, estimated to have been attached for ≥ 36 hours 2. Started within 72 hours of tick removal 3. Local rate of infection of ticks with B. burgdorferi is ≥ 20% 4. Doxycycline must not be contraindicated • Doxycycline 200 mg PO x 1 dose • • Dispense TWO 100 mg capsules / tablets Risk of disease transmission from a recognized bite is low (1-3%), even in highly endemic areas Risk of transmission from an unrecognized bite may be greater 26 • Prophylaxis with single-dose doxycycline for the prevention of Lyme disease after an Ixodes scapularis tick bite, NEJM, 2001 EARLY LOCALIZED, EARLY DISSEMINATED Erythema Migrans (no neurologic or cardiac manifestations): • Doxycycline 100 mg po BID x 14 days • Amoxicillin 500 mg po TID x 14 days • Cefuroxime axetil 500 mg po BID x 14 days NOTE: All of the above are first-line agents.
