De Nederlandse PLEASE studie heeft zijn weg gevonden in Medpage:

Lead author Kullberg has received support from the Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development and holds a patent for a cellular diagnostic test for Lyme disease.
In referentie tot het medpadge artikel over de PLEASE studie valt nog wel het één en ander toe te voegen N.l. dat Borrelia persisteert.
De volgende studies zijn voor Bart-Jan Kullberg, MD, PhD, Radboud Universiteit Medisch Centrum in Nijmegen, en zijn collega's:

Persistent Infection
-Spirochaetes were detected by silver staining.
-Serology for B. burgdorferi sensu lato was repeatedly negative.
-
Despite treatment with four courses of ceftriaxone with or without methylprednisone for up to 20 days, progression of sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) was only stopped for a maximum of 1 year.-After one further 28-day course of ceftriaxone the lesions stopped expanding and sclerosis of the skin was diminished.
Conclusion: “Borrelia [the Lyme disease bacteria] may possibly be able to remain dormant in certain tissue compartments”

Granulomatous hepatitis associated with chronic Borrelia burgdorferi infection: a case reporthttp://www.labome.org/research/Granulom ... eport.htmlAbstract
Although Lyme borreliosis has been linked to hepatitis in early stages of infection, the association of chronic Borrelia burgdorferi infection with hepatic disease remains largely unexplored. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with Lyme disease who developed acute hepatitis with elevated liver enzymes while on antibiotic treatment.
Histological examination of liver biopsy tissue revealed spirochetes dispersed throughout the hepatic parenchyma, and the spirochetes were identified as Borrelia burgdorferi by molecular testing with specific DNA probes.
Motile spirochetes were also isolated from the patient’s blood culture, and the isolate was identified as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto by two independent laboratories using molecular techniques.
These findings indicate that the patient had active, systemic Borrelia burgdorferi infection and consequent Lyme hepatitis, despite antibiotic therapy.

Standard antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease does not kill persistent Borrelia bacteria.http://droopyyoupi.blogspot.com/2015/08 ... -lyme.html-What has tuberculosis and Borrelia burgdorferi in common? In the late stage of the disease occurs persistent (tolerant) bacteria, which essentially means that the bacteria lasts and lasts and lasts. They protect themselves against antibiotics and are difficult to treat.
- Both Borrelia burgdorferi and tuberculosis is relatively easy to cure in the early stages, even with the use of one antibiotic. In the late stage it is impossible to cure the disease with the same type of treatment in the acute phase, said Dr. Ying Zhang when he visited the year NorVect conference.
-Dr. Ying Zhang is a professor at the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Verder is er in die studie alleen gekeken naar borrelia burgdorferi ss.
Maar stel je hebt ook Borrelia bissetii?

The authors describe the subjects as “humans who suffered from undefined disorders, had symptoms not typical for Lyme borreliosis, but had undergone antibiotic treatment due to suspicion of having Lyme disease even though they were seronegative.”
