Failure rates still too high for treatment of Lyme disease

In a recent study, Wormser and colleagues reviewed the cases of 24 adult patients with erythema migrans, who received a 14-day course of amoxicillin, 500 mg 3 times daily to determine the treatment efficacy and safety. The authors concluded that this single course of antibiotics was “highly effective” for treating early Lyme disease. Unfortunately, the failure rates are still too high.
