Vigilance urged as Taiwan sees first imported Lyme disease case
Taipei, Aug. 25 (CNA) Travellers visiting areas affected by Lyme disease should take precautions against tick bites as the Centers for Disease Control on Thursday confirmed this year's first imported case of the zoonotic disease transmitted to humans.The patient, a 53-year-old Swedish man, developed fatigue and knee pain in early August before seeking medical attention in Taiwan on Aug. 17, the CDC said.Tests showed the patient has contracted Lyme disease, very possibly during his trip to Sweden between July and August, according to the agency, adding that he has recovered.CDC data shows that countries with a higher incidence of Lyme disease include Slovenia, Lithuania, Estonia, and the Czech Republic.
