What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 14 days postenrollment in patients treated for erythema migrans
Time Frame: Study point: at 14 days post-enrollment.
|
At follow-up at 14 days patients will be examined physically and will be asked an open question about health-related symptoms. Symptoms that will newly develop or worsen since the onset of erythema migrans and which will have no other known medical explanation will be regarded as post-Lyme symptoms. Complete response to treatment will be defined as a return to pre-Lyme health status. Partial response will be defined as the presence of post-Lyme symptoms, while occurrence of new objective signs of Lyme borreliosis will be interpreted as failure. |
Study point: at 14 days post-enrollment.
|
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 2 months postenrollment in patients treated for erythema migrans
Time Frame: Study point: at 2 months post-enrollment.
|
At follow-up at 2 months patients will be examined physically and will be asked an open question about health-related symptoms. Symptoms that will newly develop or worsen since the onset of erythema migrans and which will have no other known medical explanation will be regarded as post-Lyme symptoms. Complete response to treatment will be defined as a return to pre-Lyme health status. Partial response will be defined as the presence of post-Lyme symptoms, while occurrence of new objective signs of Lyme borreliosis, and/ or persistence of borreliae as detected by culture of skin re-biopsy sample, and/or persistence of erythema migrans at more than 2 months post-treatment will be interpreted as failure. |
Study point: at 2 months post-enrollment.
|
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 6 months postenrollment in patients treated for erythema migrans
Time Frame: Study point: at 6 months post-enrollment.
|
At follow-up at 6 months patients will be examined physically and will be asked an open question about health-related symptoms. Symptoms that will newly develop or worsen since the onset of erythema migrans and which will have no other known medical explanation will be regarded as post-Lyme symptoms. Complete response to treatment will be defined as a return to pre-Lyme health status. Partial response will be defined as the presence of post-Lyme symptoms, while occurrence of new objective signs of Lyme borreliosis, and/ or persistence of borreliae as detected by culture of skin re-biopsy sample, and/or persistence of erythema migrans at more than 2 months post-treatment will be interpreted as failure. |
Study point: at 6 months post-enrollment.
|
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 12 months postenrollment in patients treated for erythema migrans
Time Frame: Study point: at 12 months post-enrollment.
|
At 12 months patients will be examined physically and will be asked an open question about health-related symptoms. Symptoms that will newly develop or worsen since the onset of erythema migrans and which will have no other known medical explanation will be regarded as post-Lyme symptoms. Complete response to treatment will be defined as a return to pre-Lyme health status. Partial response will be defined as the presence of post-Lyme symptoms, while occurrence of new objective signs of Lyme borreliosis, and/ or persistence of borreliae as detected by culture of skin re-biopsy sample, and/or persistence of erythema migrans at more than 2 months post-treatment will be interpreted as failure. |
Study point: at 12 months post-enrollment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in occurrence of nonspecific symptoms from baseline to 6 months and to 12 months post-enrollment in patients with erythema migrans and control subjects
Time Frame: Study points will be: at enrollment, at 6, and at 12 months post-enrollment.
|
Patients will complete a written questionnaire asking whether they had had any of 8 nonspecific symptoms (fatigue, arthralgias, headache, myalgias, paresthesias, memory difficulties, concentration difficulties, irritability) within the preceding week.
Control subjects will complete the same 8-symptom questionnaire as the patients within 14 days of the examination date of the corresponding patient at enrollment, and again at 6 and 12 months.
Patients and controls will grade the severity of each individual symptom on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (10 = most severe).
|
Study points will be: at enrollment, at 6, and at 12 months post-enrollment.
