Hey Chuck, I would love to hear your thoughts on this: "Systemic
symptoms that persisted after antibiotic treatment" (see below).

In a comparison of 95 patients with systemic symptoms that persisted
after antibiotic treatment for acute Lyme disease (posttreatment
chronic Lyme disease) and 104 control subjects without such symptoms
after antibiotic treatment, we sought associations between human
leukocyte antigen class II (DRB1 and DQB1) markers and posttreatment
chronic Lyme disease. No strong association between posttreatment
chronic Lyme disease and any class II allele or genotype was found.
