The early localized stage includes a rash (often classified as a bull's-eye rash)and vague systemic symptoms such as fatigue,headache,arthralgia,neck pain,fever,and myalgia.In the early disseminated phase,the rash expands;fatigue,headache,and arthralgia become more common;and the child may develop cranial nerve palsy,meningitis,and carditis.In the late disease phase,arthritis occurs that migrates from joint to joint,making walking uncomfortable,but the child is still able to bear weight.
