Objective metabolite-based measurements differ between Lyme disease patients that develop persistent symptoms following antibiotic treatment (PTLD) and those that are clinically cured. These differences could be useful in better identifying, differentiating, and understanding the underlying biochemistry of patients with persistent symptoms in Lyme disease.
Lyme disease infection and genetic susceptibility to autoimmune diseases may trigger breakdown in tolerance to self-antigens & contribute to dysregulated immunity, autoimmune illness, & persistent symptoms
This distinct PTLD microbiome signature presents a potential novel objective Lyme disease diagnostic tool and new avenue for therapeutics.
