Antibodies in Lyme disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain antibodies (called anti-phospholipid antibodies) are present in people with Lyme disease. It may help doctors understand how the infection affects the body's immune system.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at blood antibody test results in adults who may have tick-borne encephalitis and also signs of Lyme disease. It may help researchers understand how these infections relate and which lab patterns fit different illnesses.
This study enrolls people diagnosed with early Lyme disease (erythema migrans) to learn how people’s expectations about symptoms may affect what happens after treatment. Your experience and beliefs will be compared to see if they relate to post-Lyme symptoms.
This trial tests if a probiotic (Saccharomyces boulardii) can help maintain healthy gut bacteria while you take antibiotics for the early skin rash of Lyme disease (erythema migrans). You'll take amoxicillin for 14 days, plus either the probiotic or a placebo.
This study looks at how your immune system responds to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve treatment. The trial includes people with a specific form of Lyme called acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (a skin condition) and healthy volunteers.
This research study examines why some people continue to have symptoms months after being treated for Lyme disease. Researchers will compare patients with ongoing symptoms to people who recovered well, to better understand what causes lasting problems and how to help.
This trial is testing a new blood test to help diagnose Lyme disease (borrelia infection) in children. If you are at the emergency room with symptoms that might be Lyme disease and you have a healthy immune system, you might be able to join.
