This study examines heterogeneity in symptom reporting in patients with well-defined post treatment Lyme disease (PTLD) in order to identify and characterize clinically relevant patient subgroups.

Metabolic Response in Patients with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease
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.
