Core Tip Pericardial involvement in Lyme carditis is rare but can range from asymptomatic effusion to tamponade. This review of 15 documented cases highlights that electrocardiogram changes may mimic myocardial infarction, serological confirmation is key, and timely antibiotic therapy leads to favorable outcomes. Clinicians in endemic regions should consider Lyme disease in unexplained pericarditis, especially in young patients.
