Abstract
We evaluated the impact of the endorsement of modified 2-tiered testing and its inclusion in updated Lyme disease case definitions in North Carolina using surveillance data from 2017-2023. After the implementation of modified 2-tiered testing, confirmed cases increased by 117%, with comparable decreases in probable cases compared with prior periods.
