Clinical characteristics and cerebrospinal fluid parameters in patients with peripheral facial palsy caused by Lyme neuroborreliosis compared with facial palsy of unknown origin (Bell's palsy).

Can doxycycline be used to treat Lyme borreliosis?
Oral doxycycline can be considered an effective treatment for Lyme neuroborreliosis, irrespective of the severity of symptoms. As has been shown in this thesis, the knowledge of all aspects of Lyme borreliosis and Lyme neuroborreliosis have been growing rapidly since the spirochetal etiology of the disease was first discovered 33 years ago.
