Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Recent environmental and socioecological changes have led to an increased incidence of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, which enhances the urgency of identifying and mitigating adverse outcomes of Lyme disease exposure. Lyme disease during pregnancy, especially when untreated, may lead to adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes; however, long-term child outcomes following utero exposure to Lyme disease have not yet been systematically assessed. This concise review describes the current state of knowledge of Lyme disease as a congenital infection and the potential effects of in utero exposure to Lyme disease infection on the neurodevelopment of infants and children. We highlight the importance of distinguishing between acute Lyme disease and a chronic condition termed Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome, as the impacts of both conditions on the developing fetus and subsequent child development may differ. The importance of placental pathology for patients with acute or chronic symptoms of Lyme disease in pregnancy is explored. Future research aiming to understand and protect neurodevelopment after antenatal Lyme disease must carefully collect potentially confounding variables such as symptomatology and treatment, use clear and standard case definitions, and follow children into school-age and beyond.
