Comparison of phenoxymethylpenicillin, amoxicillin, and doxycycline for erythema migrans in general practice. A randomized controlled trial with a 1-year follow-up

This study compares the effectiveness of three commonly used antibiotics for [ライム病] in general practice. The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of phenoxymethylpenicillin, amoxicillin, and doxycycline in treating erythema migrans. They found no significant difference in the duration of erythema migrans between the three treatment groups. This study suggests that all three antibiotics may be effective in treating erythema migrans.
