Current Primary Outcome:

  • Objective sequelae and post-treatment subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, dizziness, or irritability in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with ceftriaxone or doxycycline for 15 days. [ Time Frame: enrolling 3 years, 1 year follow-up for individual participant: first assessment at baseline ]
  • Objective sequelae and post-treatment subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, dizziness, or irritability in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with ceftriaxone or doxycycline for 15 days. [ Time Frame: second assessment at 14 days postenrollment ]
  • Objective sequelae and post-treatment subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, dizziness, or irritability in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with ceftriaxone or doxycycline for 15 days. [ Time Frame: third assessment at 2 months postenrollment ]
  • Objective sequelae and post-treatment subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, dizziness, or irritability in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with ceftriaxone or doxycycline for 15 days. [ Time Frame: fourth assessment at 6 months postenrollment ]
  • Objective sequelae and post-treatment subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, dizziness, or irritability in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with ceftriaxone or doxycycline for 15 days. [ Time Frame: fifth assessment at 12 months postenrollment ]


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Comparison of subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, or irritability between patients treated with antibiotic for multiple erythema migrans and control subjects without a history of Lyme borreliosis. [ Time Frame: enrolling 3 years, 1 year follow-up for individual participant: first assessment at baseline ]
  • Objective sequelae and post-treatment subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, dizziness, or irritability in patients with solitary versus multiple erythema migrans after antibiotic treatment. [ Time Frame: enrolling 3 years, 1 year follow-up for individual participant: at baseline and at 14 days, 2, 6, and 12 months thereafter ]
  • Comparison of subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, or irritability between patients treated with antibiotic for multiple erythema migrans and control subjects without a history of Lyme borreliosis. [ Time Frame: second assessment at 6 months postenrollment ]
  • Comparison of subjective symptoms such as fatigue, malaise, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, or irritability between patients treated with antibiotic for multiple erythema migrans and control subjects without a history of Lyme borreliosis.
