Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will focus on elderly patients with early Lyme borreliosis with the aim of assessing clinical course, serological response and treatment outcome of the disease as compared to younger adults. Furthermore, the investigators will compare the prevalence of nonspecific symptoms among patients and among age-matched controls without a history of Lyme borreliosis.
