chronic Lyme disease[edit]

Sum of its parts? (plural looks unlikely) SemperBlotto (talk) 08:38, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's a different condition from Lyme disease. It is not long-term untreated Lyme disease infection. -- 76.65.131.217 08:44, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
The Wikipedia article is pretty well sourced so I imagine this is totally genuine. The thing is, according to evidence it isn't Lyme disease that's chronic in nature, it seems to be a misdiagnosis. I suppose in terms of how it's coined it's Lyme disease that's chronic, but current usage is different to that. Keep. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:53, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Keep for that reason. It seems to be a rather poorly named condition! Equinox 11:55, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Keep per the misnomer principle. DCDuring TALK 13:09, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
