Overview
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.
