Sleep quality in well-defined Lyme disease: a clinical cohort study in Maryland

[摘要] Study ObjectivesLyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Approximately 5–15 per cent of patients develop postantibiotic treatment symptoms termed post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). The primary objective of this study is to examine and quantify sleep quality among patients with early LD during the acute and convalescent periods, including among the subset who met criteria for PTLDS.
