About this trial

The investigators will focus on pretreatment expectations of patients with early Lyme disease manifested as erythema migrans with the aim of assessing the association between pretreatment expectations quantified with a questionnaire and treatment outcome quantified with the presence of post-Lyme symptoms. Furthermore, the investigators will compare the prevalence of nonspecific symptoms among patients and among age-matched controls without a history of Lyme borreliosis.
