Understanding Lyme Disease & Tick-Borne Infections in the UK
Tick-borne illnesses are increasingly recognised across the UK, particularly in rural and parkland areas surrounding Surrey, Guildford, Esher and Greater London. However, cases are also seen in patients living in central London areas such as Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Kensington, Marylebone and Belgravia due to travel, countryside exposure, and even urban green spaces.
At Levitas, our flagship clinics in London and Surrey provide advanced, doctor-led assessment for:
- Lyme disease
- Tick-borne co-infections
- Chronic inflammatory syndromes linked to tick exposure
- Complex post-infectious symptoms
We operate as a private Lyme disease clinic offering comprehensive diagnostic and functional medicine-based treatment strategies.
What Is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterium transmitted through tick bites. In some cases, patients may also acquire additional organisms known as co-infections Lyme, including:
- Babesia
- Bartonella
- Ehrlichia
- Anaplasma
- Rickettsia
These co-infections can complicate presentation and prolong recovery if not identified.
Our functional medicine tick-borne infections approach looks beyond a single organism and considers the full immune and inflammatory picture.
Tick Bite Symptoms UK: What to Watch For
Many patients attending our Lyme disease testing London clinics report that early symptoms were subtle or misattributed.
Common tick bite symptoms UK include:
Early Symptoms
- Expanding rash (erythema migrans)
- Flu-like illness
- Fever
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches
Later or Persistent Symptoms
- Joint pain
- Migratory pain patterns
- Brain fog
- Memory difficulty
- Sleep disturbance
- Anxiety or mood changes
- Palpitations
- Neurological symptoms
In chronic cases, symptoms can become multisystemic.
At our Mayfair and Knightsbridge clinics, we frequently see patients who have been searching for answers for months or years.
Why Standard Testing Sometimes Falls Short
Standard NHS testing typically uses a two-tier ELISA and Western blot system. While helpful, these tests may not always detect persistent or complex infections.
At Levitas, we offer:
- Advanced tick-borne disease blood test panels
- Broader immunological screening
- Co-infection analysis
- Inflammatory markers
- Immune system profiling
Our tick borne disease testing protocols are designed to assess both direct infection and immune response patterns.
Lyme Disease Testing London & Surrey
Our diagnostic approach across Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Esher and Guildford includes:
1.Detailed Clinical Assessment
Tick exposure history
Travel history
Symptom timeline
Neurological and systemic review
2.Laboratory Testing
- Tick-borne disease blood test
- Co-infections Lyme panels
- Immune activation markers
- Mitochondrial and inflammatory markers
- Autoimmune screening where relevant
3.Functional Medicine Evaluation
We assess:
- Gut integrity
- Liver detox capacity
- Hormonal balance
- Micronutrient status
- Mitochondrial resilience
Because chronic infections often exploit weakened biological terrain.
Chronic Lyme Disease Treatment in London & Surrey
When patients search for chronic Lyme disease treatment, they often require a layered and personalised approach.
At our private Lyme disease clinic locations in London and Surrey, treatment may include:
- Targeted antimicrobial therapy (when clinically appropriate)
- Herbal and botanical protocols
- Immune modulation
- Anti-inflammatory strategies
- Mitochondrial support
- Gut repair protocols
- Detoxification pathways
- Nervous system regulation
Our approach integrates both conventional and functional medicine tick-borne infections strategies, always guided by medical oversight.

The Functional Medicine Tick-Borne Infections Model
Chronic Lyme disease is rarely just about bacteria.
We consider:
- Immune exhaustion
- Chronic inflammation
- Hormonal suppression
- Adrenal stress
- Gut dysbiosis
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
This systems-based model is why many patients travel to our Lyme disease testing London clinics after limited improvement elsewhere.
Co-Infections Lyme: Why They Matter
Co-infections can:
- Alter symptom patterns
- Increase neurological involvement
- Delay recovery
- Complicate standard treatment
Identifying co-infections Lyme is often key in persistent cases.
Our Surrey and London clinics offer extended panels designed to detect these additional organisms.

You may benefit from assessment if you:
- Have unexplained fatigue
- Experience migrating joint pain
- Develop cognitive symptoms without clear cause
- Have had a tick bite in the UK or abroad
