Can lyme disease be cured

Answer 1

Yes. Lyme disease can be cured with anti-biotics if it is diagnosed early enough. If left untreated, it becomes harder to cure. There are also co-infections and other long-term symptoms that can be associated with Lyme disease.

Answer 2

I dont know about other pets, but for dogs YES

Treatment for dogs with Lyme disease may include:

•Antimicrobial therapy After being treated initially, there should be an improvement in the dog's condition within 48 hours.

•Antibiotic therapy

•Doxycycline, given orally every 12-24 hours is lipid soluble and is relatively inexpensive, but cannot be given to growing dogs. This antibiotic also treats other tick borne diseases.

•Other antibiotics, such as Cephalexin, Amoxicillin, and Tetracycline, are frequently used with much success.

•Antibiotic therapy does not eliminate the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, but does suppress the bacteria so that the symptoms subside. The bacteria will remain latent in the dog's body.

Answer 3

Lyme disease can be effectively treated with antibiotics if diagnosed early. However, in some cases, individuals may continue to experience symptoms even after treatment, a condition known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important in managing Lyme disease.

Answer 4

There is an effective treatment if administered in the early stages of the disease, but no precise cure.

Answer 5

There are no drugs that can eliminate T. gondii cysts in animal or human tissues.
