The ICD code A692 is used to code Erythema chronicum migrans. Erythema chronicum migrans (New Latin, literally, "chronic migrating redness") refers to the rash often (though not always) seen in the early stage of Lyme disease. It can appear anywhere from one day to one month after a tick bite.

Lyme disease is diagnosed based on signs and symptoms, as well as history of possible exposure to infected black-legged ticks.#N#Untreated , Lyme disease can produce a wide range of symptoms and, depending on the stage of infection, can spread to:
The causative agent of Lyme disease is the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi), which belongs to a group of bacteria called spirochetes. B. burgdorferi has a unique morphology that includes a spiral or wavelike body and flagella, as shown in Figure 1. This bacterium uses the tick as a vector (transmitter).
for less than or equal to 30 days, an immunoglobulin M (IgM) Western Blot (WB) test is performed; or. for more than 30 days, the immunoglobulin G (IgG) WB is performed. Results are considered positive for Lyme disease only if the EIA and immunoblot are both positive.
Most cases are successfully treated with oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefurozime axetil.
This bacterium uses the tick as a vector (transmitter). In stage 1 , adult female ticks drop off the host to lay eggs. The eggs hatch into six-legged larvae, which attach to and feed on the first host, which may become infected. Once the larvae molt into nymphs, they leave the first host.
Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord (A69.22 Other neurologic disorders in Lyme disease)
Signs and symptoms occurring within three to 30 days post tick bite, include: The bull’s-eye, or target rash, is a hallmark of Lyme disease infection, as shown in Figure 3. Classic Lyme disease bull’s-eye target rash. Intermittent pain in tendons, muscles, joints, and bones (M25.50)
