Tests and diagnosis
By Mayo Clinic staffTick-borne infections are difficult to diagnose based solely on symptoms because the symptoms are similar to many other common causes of fever or body aches.
A pattern of abnormal blood tests may lead your doctor to a diagnosis. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics after analyzing your symptoms and may have you undergo a specific diagnostic blood test. If the symptoms don't subside with your doctor's recommendations, see your doctor for a follow-up visit.
