Washington, D.C. ? President Bush was treated a year ago for what appears to have been Lyme disease, the White House said Wednesday.

The treatment was revealed only when the White House made public all the results of Bush’s annual physical exam on Wednesday. The report said Bush’s case had “complete resolution” and was “without recurrence” since being treated last August.

While untreated Lyme disease can cause arthritis, an abnormal heart rhythm and occasionally a facial droop, those problems can be prevented by taking antibiotics at an early stage of the infection.

Doctors pronounced Bush, 61, healthy overall.
