"Treatment is based with antibiotics (e.g. doxycycline, ceftriaxone) depending on the stage of the disease and its severity 1. There is no evidence that long-term antibiotic therapy is appropriate for patients with post-Lyme disease symptoms or syndrome 4."
"Lyme disease, also known as borreliosis, is a condition caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, with infection being via the ixodid ticks."
"Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted by the bite of the ticks Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes pacificus, and Ixodes ricinus 6. Animal studies have shown transmission of Lyme disease when tick attachment time is"
"Once transmitted, the spirochetes then disseminate into the host, triggering host immune response. B. burgdorferi is known to be capable of evading host immunity through various sophisticated methods such complement cascade interference via surface proteins, innate antimicrobial resistance, production of IL-10 to dampen immune response, presence of chemokine-inhibitory evasive protein in tick saliva etc 12."
"If patients have neurological involvement, the disease may be termed Lyme neuroborreliosis, or simply, neuroborreliosis."

"Lyme disease is curable by prompt antibiotic treatment (within the first few weeks), however some patients develop debilitating long term symptoms such as fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia and cognitive disorders, particularly if treatment is delayed. There is no reliable evidence to support a theory of persistent infection and there is no evidence of benefit from prolonged antibiotic therapy. This has been a contentious issue, particularly in view of the potential severity of symptoms 3."
"Lyme disease is endemic in the United States, Europe and Asia, and is the most common vector-borne infection in the northern hemisphere11, 12. The age distribution of Lyme disease is bimodal, with children 45 years old more commonly affected 11. Most cases occur between late spring and early summer, corresponding with the life cycle of the Ixodid tick vectors. In the United States, the incidence is rising, with nearly 90,000 cases reported nationwide in 2023 14."
