What is Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS)?
Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) refers to a set of persistent symptoms that can occur after the standard treatment for Lyme disease. These symptoms can last for months or even years after the initial infection has been treated. Though Lyme disease is typically treated with antibiotics, some children may continue to experience symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, and cognitive difficulties.
