Lyme disease often leaves patients with chronic symptoms of fatigue, easy confusion, and even cardiac arrhythmias. We report a case in which Lyme disease was treated with an herbal mixture due to protracted symptoms despite intravenous antibiotics. This mixture was associated with hepatotoxicity. General providers should be aware of the fact that homeopathic remedies may be associated with hepatotoxicity, and herbalists need better understanding of the safety risks of the individual components in remedy mixtures.
莱姆病常常使患者出现疲劳、易混淆甚至心律失常等慢性症状。我们报告了一例尽管使用了静脉抗生素，但由于症状迁延不愈而用草药混合物治疗莱姆病的病例。这种混合物与肝毒性有关。普通医疗人员应认识到家opathy疗法可能与肝毒性有关，而草药医生需要更好地了解草药混合物中各成分的安全风险。
