“…A recommended antibiotic therapy for Lyme disease patients is evolving in North America and Europe. In the early phase of cutaneous infection, commonly used oral antibiotics are doxycycline, tetracycline and amoxicillin (23). Patients having arthritic, neurologic or cardiac manifestations have frequently been treated with oral doxycycline and intravenous ceftriaxone (23).…”

Patients having arthritic, neurologic or cardiac manifestations have frequently been treated with oral doxycycline and intravenous ceftriaxone (23). In Japan, the statistics of antibiotic use for Lyme disease are poor; however, the small number of patients diagnosed with Lyme disease by the Department of Dermatology, Asahikawa Medical College, were mainly treated with the oral administration of minocycline or amoxicillin (10).…”

We compared the efficacy of three antibiotics (ceftriaxone, erythromycin and clarithromycin) against Borrelia garinii infection in mice. The nymphal ticks of Ixodes persulcatus infected with the strain JEM6 of Japanese B. garinii were allowed to feed on female C3H mice. The mice were treated with each of the antibiotics for 5 consecutive days 1, 3, or 7 weeks after tick detachment. The doses of antibiotics per day were as follows: 5 mg intraperitoneal injection of ceftriaxone, 2 mg intraperitoneal injection of erythromycin and 1 mg peroral administration of clarithromycin. The infection status in treated mice was monitored by culturing their earlobes, hearts and urinary bladders in BSK II medium. Ceftriaxone eliminated borreliae completely; however, a recurrence of infection was observed in mice treated with erythromycin and clarithromycin.

God has created many miraculous creature; ticks are one of them. Borrelia burgdorferi is a bacterium that lives into the gut of ticks. When such ticks feed upon the blood of Ticks and other livestock, bacteria are transferred into their blood stream of these hosts. A disease is caused into human beings if such infected tick bites humans that are called as Lyme disease. This review will help to have a keen study on the cause, sign, symptoms, prevention and management of this disease.
