[Modern therapy of Lyme disease]

The treatment of Lyme disease is placed in the centre of more than one medical discipline. So far the efficacy of antibiotic therapy application showed various results. The results of the treatment of two groups of the patients with Lyme disease were presented in the paper. The first group of twenty two patients was treated three weeks by the regime I, and the second group of nine patients was treated eight weeks by the regime II. During 3-year follow up 50% of the patients from the first group and 22% of the patients from the second group had recurrences. The total number of the recurrences in the second group was eight times less than the total number of the recurrences in the first one. The application of antibiotic therapy in the treatment of Lyme disease during eight weeks and more can contribute to the falling number of recurrences.
