In general, Lyme arthritis can be treated effectively with oral antibiotics. Adults can be treated with amoxicillin, doxycycline, or cefuroxime for 4 weeks. Intravenous (IV) ceftriaxone is recommended for patients with Lyme arthritis with neurologic involvement such as facial nerve palsy or meningitis, although most recent data suggest that oral antibiotics can be just as effective. For children with neurologic involvement, IV ceftriaxone or penicillin G are recommended. For antibiotic-refractory cases with persistent synovitis, arthroscopic synovectomy may be indicated.
