How this service works
McEntire 2025 FACE DROPS: seven caller-assigned flags for acute Lyme disease-associated facial palsy versus Bell palsy. Fever +8, aches (arthralgia/myalgia) +6, cephalalgia +3, exhaustion +4, dermatomal or radicular pattern +4, otalgia or postauricular pain −1, stiff neck +3. Score −1 to 28. Scores ≤4 favor Bell palsy; ≥7 favor LDFP; 5–6 indeterminate. Not a Lyme test, diagnosis, serology order, or stroke FACE-DROPS mimic score. magent does not examine the face.
Output
Returns the integer FACE DROPS total score (range −1 to 28) and an interpretation: scores ≤4 favor Bell palsy, ≥7 favor Lyme disease-associated facial palsy (LDFP), and 5–6 are indeterminate. Does not perform examination, order serology, diagnose, or evaluate for stroke mimics.
Example use cases
ED triage of new facial palsy
“I have a patient in the ED with acute unilateral facial palsy. They have fever, muscle aches, and a stiff neck, but no ear pain, no headache, and no unusual fatigue, and no dermatomal pattern. Run the FACE DROPS score and tell me whether this looks more like Bell palsy or Lyme disease facial palsy.”
Telemedicine Lyme exposure evaluation
“A patient I'm seeing remotely has facial drooping and reports exhaustion and a headache, no fever, no joint pain, no stiff neck, no ear pain, and no dermatomal symptoms. Can you calculate the McEntire FACE DROPS score and let me know if the result is indeterminate or favors Bell palsy?”
Clinical documentation decision support
“I need the FACE DROPS score calculated for chart documentation: the patient has fever yes, aches yes, cephalalgia no, exhaustion yes, dermatomal or radicular pattern yes, otalgia or postauricular pain yes, stiff neck no. What's the score and what category does it fall into?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/face_dropsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a clinician or agent has already assessed the seven FACE DROPS symptom flags for a patient with acute facial palsy and needs the McEntire 2025 arithmetic score and categorical interpretation (Bell palsy vs Lyme facial palsy vs indeterminate). This is not a Lyme diagnostic test, serology orderer, or stroke screening tool — choose a different endpoint or service for those needs.
Side effects
- Missing any of the seven required boolean query parameters returns a validation error
- Passing non-boolean values for symptom flags causes a schema rejection
- Network or payment authorization failure (x402) returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Score is indeterminate (5–6) — no definitive guidance returned, caller must use clinical judgment
