Azithromycin gel fails to prevent Lyme disease
In a recent study conducted in Germany and Austria, researchers applied a 10% azithromycin gel to the site of a tick bite for 3 days. The trial was stopped early after it failed to prove that the gel worked in preventing Lyme disease (LD) for the 995 subjects.
The topical treatment failed to prevent a combination of seroconversion or an EM rash in 11 (2%) of 505 individuals in the azithromycin group and 11 (2%) of 490 participants in the placebo group.
