"Three patients with multi-year histories of relapsing and remitting Lyme disease and associated co-infections despite extended antibiotic therapy were each given double-dose dapsone combination therapy (DDD CT) for a total of 7-8 weeks"
"Dapsone not only acts as a ‘persister’ drug, but also lowers inflammation, has anti-malarial effects, and can be effective in an autoimmune illness."
"The study is suggestive that dapsone combination therapy may well characterize both a novel and successful option to treat Borrelia burgdorferi persister cells in the form of biofilm. "
"This article is about dapsone for treating persisters. Adding dapsone is one way to address persisters, but there are a number of persister and treatment resistant Lyme approaches."
"Patients prescribed this regime are placed on hefty folate doses to combat the inhibitory effects of the drug and given detox regimens focused upon liver clearance.. Frequent bloodwork to measure complete blood studies and metabolic panels are drawn to closely monitor tolerance of the drug."
