Stephen E. Malawista, Lyme Disease Researcher, Dies at 79

"Lyme disease remains treatable if not always curable. An antibiotic treatment usually wipes out the infection. If it does not, another course of antibiotics might be administered, sometimes intravenously. But bacteria can persist in the body, causing harm and illness months or even years after treatment has ended."

"But the Yale researchers were wrong in their initial judgment that the disease is caused by a virus — and even wrong that it was truly a new disease. Their announcement that it was caused by only one type of tick did not bear out. When symptoms turned out to be much more diverse than arthritis, they changed the name to Lyme disease."
