Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The link between Lyme neuroborreliosis (NBL) and persistent symptoms is debated in the medical world. Some report a frequency of post NBL symptoms similar to the general population, and others define a specific entity, the PTLDS (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Symptoms).

In France, few studies have evaluated the persistent symptoms and the impact on the quality of life of patients after treatment for NBL.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Assess the quality of life of patients compared to a healthy control population using the SF-36 questionnaire and the Fatigue Scale Severity [At inclusion]

  2. Identification of symptoms recognized by the patient as persistent after neuroboreliosis from a list of referenced symptoms [At inclusion]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Imputability according to the patient of his pain in relation to the initial infection [At inclusion]

  2. Comparison of symptoms and/or quality of life between patients with definite versus probable neuroborreliosis using the SF-36 questionnaire [At inclusion]
