Ceftriaxone for lingering fatigue after Lyme disease
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a short course of a strong antibiotic (ceftriaxone) can help people who still have fatigue and other symptoms after being treated for Lyme disease. It aims to see if this treatment can improve your quality of life.
