Failure rates still too high for treatment of Lyme disease

1 Comment / Lyme Science Blog / By

According to the authors, the 14-day course effectively cleared the patients’ erythema migrans rashes and “prevented the development of objective neurologic, cardiac, or rheumatologic manifestations.” One patient was retreated with amoxicillin. Two others could not be evaluated at 1-year follow-up due to a recurrent erythema migrans (EM) rash. But 4 out of the 24 patients […]

Lyme-like syndrome in Brazil is still a problem

2 Comments / Lyme Science Blog / By

Brazilian Lyme-like syndrome (BYS) is a tick-borne illness that closely resembles Lyme disease. Recent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing has confirmed the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Brazil, strengthening evidence that this condition represents a true borrelial infection rather than a distinct or unrelated syndrome. The existence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.s. in Brazil

Acute transverse myelitis is a rare neurologic condition that leaves one-third of patients with severe neurologic disability. It is characterized by varying degrees of bilateral motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. Symptoms can progress rapidly within hours or within days, explains Dumic, from Mayo Clinic and lead author of the case report “Acute transverse myelitis: A

Diagnosing Borrelia Miyamotoi: Blood Smear Not Reliable

6 Comments / AI, Lyme Science Blog / By

Why Blood Smears Fail to Detect Borrelia miyamotoi Diagnosing Borrelia miyamotoi can be challenging. Some doctors have suggested that a blood smear should be used to confirm the diagnosis of BMD. But as Telford and colleagues demonstrate, a blood smear may not be so reliable for diagnosing Borrelia miyamotoi. Blood smear examination is a standard

Opsoclonus is typically due to an infectious disease or a form of cancer, known as neuroblastoma. In some cases, the cause is unknown. But the condition is rarely seen in Lyme disease patients, explains Gibaud and colleagues in the case report “Opsoclonus in a child with neuroborreliosis.” [1] In fact, only 2 cases have been

Depression Scores in Lyme Disease May Reflect Physical Symptoms

4 Comments / AI, Lyme Science Blog / By

A one-year prospective study followed 52 adult Lyme disease patients who presented with erythema migrans (EM) rashes. Participants reported a range of somatic symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, and cognitive complaints. Patients with more severe physical symptoms also had higher scores on the Beck Depression Inventory–II (BDI-II). The BDI-II is commonly used

Erythema Migrans Rash: Why Overreliance Can Harm Lyme Disease Diagnosis Two studies published in 1996 and 1998 required participants to meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance case definition for Lyme disease. Under this definition, an erythema migrans (EM) rash must be at least 2 inches in diameter to qualify. How Common
