Patient‐reported outcome after treatment for definite Lyme neuroborreliosis

Abstract

Results on validated PROM questionnaires measuring fatigue, anxiety, depression, self-reported somatic symptom burden, and physical health-related quality did not differ between persons treated for definite NB 1-10 years earlier and reference scores. NB-treated persons tended to report a slightly poorer mental health-related quality of life than found in normative data, but when adjusting for confounders the causative connection is questionable. Overall, the long-term prognosis of definite NB seems to be good.
