The link between Lyme neuroborreliosis (NBL) and persistent symptoms is debated in the medical world. Some report a frequency of post NBL symptoms similar to the general population, and others define a specific entity, the PTLDS (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Symptoms). In France, few studies have evaluated the persistent symptoms and the impact on the quality of life of patients after treatment for NBL.
