The Clinical Application of Disulfiram in Tick-Borne Infections

Over the past 18 months, disulfiram has been increasingly prescribed for patients suffering from Lyme disease and its co-infections. Patient responses have been quite varied, and there have been significant issues with neurotoxicity as well as Herxheimer reactions. The application of disulfiram in this patient population needs to be carefully individualized and monitored. This presentation reviews issues with neurotoxicity and outlines a clinical approach to prescribing disulfiram in this population of patients.
