结局指标
主要结局
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 14 days post-enrollment in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with doxycycline for 7 or 14 days
时间窗: 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 the multiple 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.
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 2 months post-enrollment in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with doxycycline for 7 or 14 days
时间窗: 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 the multiple 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.
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 6 months post-enrollment in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with doxycycline for 7 or 14 days
时间窗: 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 the multiple 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.
Occurrence of objective clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis and post-Lyme symptoms at 12 months post-enrollment in patients treated for multiple erythema migrans with doxycycline for 7 or 14 days
时间窗: 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 the multiple 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.
次要结局
- Change in occurrence of nonspecific symptoms from baseline to 6 months and to 12 months post-enrollment in patients with multiple erythema migrans and control subjects(Study points will be: at enrollment, at 6, and at 12 months post-enrollment.)
