title: [The diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease: a report of six cases].
abstract: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of 6 cases of Lyme disease from November, 1994 to December, 1998. According to our report, doxycycline, penicillin, and ceftriaxone are effective drugs for Lyme disease. The shorter the disease course is, the better the treatment effect will be. Patients in phase III usually need repeated treatment.
