A member asked:
Expert opinion please: could taking minocycline affect my lyme titers?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Minocycline can cause the lyme titers to fall as it treats the causative agent. Remember, that lyme titers can stay positive for months after the treatment is completed. This is often misinterpreted by doctors as continuing infection when it is not.

Yes: Minocycline is one of several antibiotics used to treat lyme. Falling lyme titers and increasing cd57 levels are a good sign.
