✅ Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Ixodes ticks.
✅ The bull's-eye rash (erythema migrans) is a hallmark early symptom of Lyme disease, appearing at the site of the tick bite in 70–80% of cases.
✅ Serologic testing (ELISA followed by Western blot) is the standard diagnostic test for Lyme disease. It detects antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi.
✅ Doxycycline is the first-line treatment for early localized Lyme disease in adults. It is also effective against other tick-borne co-infections like anaplasmosis.
✅ The recommended duration of antibiotic therapy for early Lyme disease is 10–14 days.

✅ Metronidazole is effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain protozoa due to its DNA-disrupting mechanism.
✅ Metronidazole is commonly used for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), as well as other anaerobic bacterial infections and protozoal infections like trichomoniasis and amebiasis.
✅ A metallic taste in the mouth is a common side effect of Metronidazole. Other side effects include nausea, vomiting, and peripheral neuropathy with prolonged use.
✅ Metronidazole is contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy due to potential teratogenic effects.
✅ Patients on Metronidazole should avoid alcohol during and for at least 48 hours after treatment to prevent a disulfiram-like reaction (nausea, vomiting, flushing).

✅ Lotions are liquid preparations designed to deliver medication to the skin surface. They are typically used for moisturizing, cooling, or treating superficial skin conditions.
✅ Liniments are topical preparations designed to relieve muscle and joint pain. They often contain counterirritants like menthol or methyl salicylate.
✅ The key difference is that lotions are primarily used for moisturizing and treating superficial skin conditions, while liniments are used for relieving muscle and joint pain.
✅ Liniments containing methyl salicylate can lead to systemic toxicity if overused. They may also increase the absorption of other topical medications like corticosteroids.
