However, within the past few days, she has developed pain in her joints, tendons, bones, and muscles 1. The patient is unsure of when she was exposed to the infected tick. The physician decides to order the enzyme immunoassay (EIA), hoping the window is adequate for antibody production. The EIA results are positive. What is the physician’s next step? A. Make the Lyme disease diagnosis. B. Order a Western blot for confirmation.arrow_forwardWhat is the prognosis of this patient? What are the methods for disease prevention?arrow_forwardAnswer by listing only the name of the disease. Some questions will require the name of the organism. A 46 year old man presents with malaise and overall muscle weakness. He's having difficulty breathing and has an overall weakness in his eye muscles. He tells he felt funny after eating some beans he made last week, but figured it was all in his head since he didn't have food poisoning.
