The bacteria that cause Lyme disease can survive in organ tissue after treatment with a full course of antibiotics months after infection, according to a new study with non-human primates. The study results seem to support claims of lingering symptoms some patients who have received antibiotic treatment for the disease have reported. Researchers at Tulane National Primate Research Center studied 10 primates exposed to ticks carrying Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. Four months after infection, half of the animals received the antibiotic doxycycline orally for 28 days at a proportional dose to that used in human patients. Five animal subjects remained untreated and all were evaluated by more than five different diagnostic methods to characterize any remaining infection. Researchers used several important techniques, including xenodiagnoses, to determine if the bacteria persisted.
