Early localized Lyme disease is characterized by symptoms that occur days to weeks after the tick bite. These include arthralgia (joint pain), a bull's-eye rash (erythema migrans), and lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes). Cranial neuritis and subacute encephalopathy are more indicative of later stages of Lyme disease.
