A survey was developed to assess experience and opinions about Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) among faculties in public health. No previous surveys of public health faculties have been found in the literature. This is a cross sectional study of public health school...
Approximately 10% to 20% of patients optimally treated for early Lyme disease develop persistent symptoms of unknown pathophysiology termed post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). The objective of this study is to investigate associations between PTLDS and immune mediator levels during acute illne...
Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) is used to describe Lyme disease patients who have the infection cleared by antibiotic but then experienced persisting symptoms of pain, fatigue, or cognitive impairment. Currently, little is known about the cause or epidemiology of PTLDS. We conducted ...
Patients with early Lyme disease report having pain, fatigue and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) following a three-week course of doxycycline, according to a study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Out of 107 patients, six (6%) had PTLDS. [2] In the John Hopkins...
“Subjects were regarded as having Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) if the symptoms developed at the time of presentation (or were intensified over the subject’s pre-Lyme disease symptoms), or within 6 months of diagnosis,” and lasted for 6 months or more following completion of...
Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) has long been a subject of debate45,46, as views expressed in the literature regarding both the frequency and the validity of PTLDS are divided. Although substantial evidence47,48,49,50,51,52,53points to persistence of arthralgia, fatigue, and su...
Although most cases of LB can be cured with a course of antibiotics, some children can present prolonged symptoms, which may constitute post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). The aim of our analysis was the long-term observation of children with NB and the determination of th...

Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) poses a difficult to understand health issue. This multi-centered, randomized control trial studied the possible correlation between ABCB1 (MDR1) gene variants and the incidence of PTLDS in affected patients. Genomic DNA was isolated and analyzed for ...
To the Editor: Despite early diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, posttreatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) occurs in a small percentage of patients and produces chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (1,2). The pathophysiology of this chronic pain syndrome is poorly understood and thus the ...
