Figure 4

Lyme disease incidence by age group and sex in MarketScan enrollees (A, C, E) and from surveillance (B, D, F) by geographic category of Lyme disease endemicity (A– B, high-incidence states; C–D, neighboring states; E–F, low-incidence states), United States, 2010–2018. Incidence was calculated as diagnoses/100,000 enrollees in MarketScan or cases/100,000 population among each subcategory. Scales for each y-axis differ substantially to underscore overall age-related incidence patterns but do not permit direct comparison of the magnitude of Lyme disease between systems or geographic categories.
