What makes this study interesting is that each subsequent course of antibiotics given after the relapses was followed by Jarisch-Herxheimer reactions, which are known to occur only when active bacteria are dying, which implies that active bacteria were still present in the body after multiple courses of antibiotics.
In addition, delay or failure of titer decline after treatment, predilection for developing the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, and clinical relapse have also been described in HIV infection (1,4,7,8).
Treatment has been known to precipitate the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, particularly in patients with early syphilis.
