Controversial Lyme Disease Guidelines Upheld

By Fred Lee

A recent review of the current Lyme disease treatment protocols has upheld the initial, yet controversial, recommendations established in 2006 by the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA). The IDSA establishes the therapeutic guidelines for many infectious diseases in this country, and their findings are generally supported by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In 2006, a panel of experts with the IDSA made a series of recommendations for the treatment of Lyme disease which were intended to help doctors decide upon the best course of treatment for people suffering from the condition. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the Unites States.
