08 May National Guidelines On Lyme Disease Treatment To Be Reviewed

Nidhi Sharma – AHN News Writer

Hartford, CT (AHN) – A doctors group has agreed to reassess its national guidelines on diagnosing and treating Lyme disease after an antitrust investigation revealed serious flaws in the way the guidelines were set.

The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has agreed to reassess its 2006 Lyme disease guidelines with the help of an outside arbiter after it was criticized by Lyme disease patients. The group’s 2006 guidelines say there is no evidence that chronic Lyme disease exists or that long-term antibiotic treatment is effective.

The IDSA’s guidelines also say Lyme disease can be treated in most cases with a 30-day course of oral antibiotics.

However, critics say Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose and can last for years. They also charge the disease requires treatment with antibiotics for six months or longer.

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal launched an antitrust investigation into the patient’s complaints. The IDSA guidelines are often used by insurance companies to prohibit long-term antibiotic treatment or other medical care.

The overuse of antibiotics can cause drug-resistant infections that are difficult or even impossible to treat. IDSA claims that it has never been proven that chronic Lyme disease is a real condition—patients may have something else instead. Advocates for chronic Lyme disease say IDSA’s guidelines discourage proper treatment.
