The prevention and treatment of Lyme disease varies depending on the clinical presentation. Antibiotic therapy remains the cornerstone of management; however, robust data demonstrating the most efficacious and cost-effective antibiotic, dose, route, and duration are limited. The guideline recommends personal protective measures and timely antibiotic prophylaxis after high-risk tick bites. It also addresses treatment protocols for erythema migrans and Lyme neuroborreliosis, highlighting the need for careful consideration of antibiotic use to avoid overprescribing.
