Lyme and cystitis?

I am not sure what do you mean by 'lyme and Cystitis', but it is defined as inflammation of the urinary bladder. Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, which is the passageway that connects the bladder with the exterior of the body. Sometimes cystitis and urethritis are referred to collectively as a lower urinary tract infection, or UTI. Infection of the upper urinary tract involves the spread of bacteria to the kidney and is called pyelonephritis.
Uncomplicated cystitis is treated with antibiotics. These include penicillin, ampicillin, and amoxicillin; sulfisoxazole or sulfamethoxazole; trimethoprim; nitrofurantoin; cephalosporins; or fluoroquinolones. (Flouroquinolones are generally not used in children under 18 years of age.) Treatment for women is shortterm; most patients respond within three days. Men do not respond as well to short-term treatment and require seven to 10 days of oral antibiotics for uncomplicated UTIs. Patients of either sex may be given phenazopyridine or flavoxate to relieve painful urination. Trimethoprim and nitrofurantoin are preferred for treating recurrent UTIs in women.

Please see the webpages for more details on Lyme disease and Urinary tract infection.
