You can get re-bit and have Lyme disease all over again.
However, it is most likely that your brother did not receive adequate treatment.
High enough dosage of antibiotics for a long enough time.
Please post in Medical Questions. You are apt to get more responses there.
Also please post in Seeking Doctors to find a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD)
In your brother's area so he can get treatment from someone who specializes in Tick Borne Diseases.
Do you know how he was diagnosed?
What meds was he given and for how long?
Does he still have a copy of his Western Blot or did he have a Bulls-Eye-Rash?
Help is here for your brother.
Hang in there.
Hugs,
Geneal

Angie, your bro might want to join the Louisiana online support group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/louisianalyme Geneal, too. It's not that big a group but they might have local info to help your brother.

Thanks for the heads up on the La. support group.
We actually just started a local chapter in Mandeville, La. also.

Here are some reasons that educated doctors what to be sure patients get early and adequate care when possible and --treatment, still, for chronic or recurring stealth infections:
This excellent article explains a lot about what chronic neuroborreliosis can do. It also details other chronic stealth infections, such as Cpn - and others - that should also be assessed in all chronic patients, especially those with neurological symptoms.
