Lyme disease, human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) and babesiosis are emerging tick-borne infections. To provide an update on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these infections. We searched PUBMED and SCOPUS for articles on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these infections published in English from January 2005 through December 2015. Our search yielded 3550 articles for diagnosis and treatment and 752 articles for prevention. Of these articles, 361 were reviewed in depth. Evidence supports the use of FDA-approved serologic tests, such as an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), followed by western blot test(s), to diagnose extracutaneous manifestations of Lyme disease. Microscopy and polymerase chain reaction on blood specimens are used to diagnose active HGA and babesiosis. The efficacy of oral doxycycline, amoxicillin and cefuroxime axetil for treating Lyme disease has been established in multiple trials. Ceftriaxone is recommended when parenteral antibiotic therapy is warranted. Multiple trials have shown efficacy of a 10-day course of oral doxycycline for treatment of erythema migrans and of a 14-day course of oral doxycycline for treatment of early neurologic Lyme disease in ambulatory patients. Evidence indicates that a 10-day course of oral doxycycline is effective for HGA and that a 7-10 day course of azithromycin plus atovaquone is effective for mild babesiosis. Based on multiple case reports, a 7-10 day course of clindamycin plus quinine is often used to treat severe babesiosis. A recent study supports a minimum of 6 weeks of antibiotics for highly immunocompromised patients with babesiosis, with no parasites detected on blood smear for at least the final two weeks of treatment.. Evidence is evolving regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of Lyme disease, HGA and babesiosis. Newer evidence supports treating patients with erythema migrans for no longer than 10 days when doxycycline is used, and for prescribing a 14-day course of oral doxycycline for early neurologic Lyme disease in ambulatory patients. The duration of antimicrobial therapy for babesiosis in highly immunocompromised patients should be extended to ≧6 weeks.
