treatmentObjective: To investigate the humoral immune status and the effect of antibiotic treatment in Bulgarian patients with early Lyme disease.Method: A total of 34 early Lyme disease patients was examined, 16 with erythema migrans and 18 with non-specific systemic symptoms. Serum samples from ...
Forty-one patients with erythema migrans were enrolled in an open-labelled pilot study of oral clarithromycin, 500 mg twice daily for 21 days, for the treatment of early Lyme disease. Immediately posttherapy, pretreatment signs and symptoms resolved among 91% of the 33 evaluable patients. At 6...

The findings of numerous studies on early events in multiple sclerosis (MS) demonstrate that the first symptoms that hint at the presence of MS should be taken very seriously and that early treatment initiation is in the patient's best interest.Most patients who develop MS initially present with...
is a problem, there are important facts you should know. For example, you can get bitten by the tick (扁虱) that carries the disease while out gardening, walking, even playing with your dog. And, if you don't have any early symptoms, you might not know you have Lyme diseas[translate...
Re-treatment with antibiotics should be considered when symptoms persist. “Studies using rodent and primate models have suggested that the persistence of bacteria and/or spirochetal antigens after antibiotic therapy may drive disease,” according to Aucott from Johns Hopkins University School ...
The presence of erythema migrans offers physicians the best opportunity for diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease. Serologic testing has poor sensitivity in patients with early disease. Therefore, aggressive antibiotic treatment initiated solely on the basis of clinical findings is appropriate. A number...
symptoms are mild and nonspecific. This group of patients needs intensive monitoring and instant treatment when unfavorable prognostic indicators are observed, thus, hopefully improving patient outcomes. However, multiple evaluations of MRPMC in larger cohorts, prospective settings, and clinical trials are...
