About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The investigators will focus on pretreatment expectations of patients with early Lyme disease manifested as erythema migrans with the aim of assessing the association between pretreatment expectations quantified with a questionnaire and treatment outcome quantified with the presence of post-Lyme symptoms. Furthermore, the investigators will compare the prevalence of nonspecific symptoms among patients and among age-matched controls without a history of Lyme borreliosis.
The 2 groups in the trial
- patients with erythema migransExisting treatment, for comparison
Patients will be treated with antibiotics for Lyme disease.
Treatment: Antibiotics (preferentially oral doxycycline 100 mg bid)
- controlsNo study treatment, for comparison
