WTNH-8 - Lyme Disease Debate

WTNH-8 - Lyme Disease Debate

Connecticut channel WTNH-8 (ABC) report on the debate that is raging over the diagnosis and treatment of chronic Lyme disease. This report was aired in the wake of two new studies, one published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) denying the existence of chronic Lyme and claiming that longterm antibiotics are unwarranted, and the other published in the Journal Neurology yielding evidence that chronic Lyme is real and that extended courses of antibiotics are helpful.

It should be noted that the study published in NEJM was nothing more than a retrospective review of previously published research which appears to be limited to just those studies that reinforced the authors' long held ideology that chronic Lyme does not exist. A number of the NEJM authors are currently under investigation by CT Attorney General Richard Blumenthal for possible anti-competitive practices in the development of Lyme disease treatment guidelines published by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).
