Does late-stage lyme disease disqualify a person from being a living donor of a partial liver?

Ask the team: Talk to the transplant team. The laws about transplant safety don't specifically exclude Lyme Disease. https://www.cdc.gov/transplantsafety/overview/faq.html This article says that there was a least one donor caused Lyme infection, but does not say the tissue source.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1600-6143.2011.03493.x However, you need to tell them about it up front.
