Yes, I found them :) this one: http://www.ilads.org/files/burrascano_0905.pdf
Where I highlighted among other snippets: "After a tick bite, serologic tests (ELISA. IFA, western blots, etc.) are not expected to become positive until several weeks have passed. Therefore, if EM is present, treatment must begin immediately, and one should not wait for results of Borrelia tests. You should not miss the chance to treat early disease, for this is when the success rate is the highest. Indeed, many knowledgeable clinicians will not even order a Borrelia test in this circumstance."
And this: http://www.idsociety.org/uploadedFiles/IDSA/Guidelines-Patient_Care/PDF_Library/Lyme%20Disease.pdf
I didn't print off the whole documents, but the front page of each and the pages with my highlights on so as not to drive the doctor nuts lol
Best of luck! You've come to the right place :)
