研究概览
简要总结
A European, prospective clinical trial in which doxycycline and cefuroxime axetil were compared in the treatment of adult patients with erythema migrans included a control group to address this question. Evaluations of patients were conducted at baseline, 14 days and 2, 6, and 12 months after enrollment. Control subjects were evaluated at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. Subjective complaints that newly developed or intensified since the onset of erythema migrans or since the date of enrollment for controls were referred to as "new or increased symptoms"(NOIS).

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline in Objective Manifestations and Subjective New or Increased Symptoms (NOIS) in Patients Treated for Erythema Migrans With Doxycycline or Cefuroxime Axetil for 15 Days
时间窗: One year follow-up (follow-up time points at 14 days, 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months after enrolment)
At each visit patients were examined and asked about the presence of any symptoms that newly developed or had worsened since erythema migrans. If such symptoms had no other medical explanation they were regarded as new or increased symptoms (NOIS). Complete response was defined as absence of any manifestations of Lyme borreliosis, with return to pre-Lyme borreliosis health status. Partial response was defined as presence of NOIS. Failure was defined as presence of objective manifestations of Lyme borreliosis or persistence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in skin at the site of the previous erythema migrans.
次要结局
- Number of Patients (at 12 Months After Treatment With Doxycycline or Cefuroxime Axetil for 15 Days for Erythema Migrans) and Number of Control Subjects (Without a History of Lyme Borreliosis) With Nonspecific Symptoms.(12 months after treatment)
