The Correct Answer is AAmoxicillin is preferred for the treatment of Lyme disease in children, as well as for pregnant or lactating women. Doxycycline is effective, but should not be used in pregnant women. Macrolides are not considered first-line agents because controlled trials of azithromycin or erythromycin in patients with erythema migrans found a high rate of clinical failure.
