Delong explained major flaws in two studies heavily credited in creating the IDSA guidelines, and ones that are often used to discredit long-term antibiotic therapy. “She has the ability to lay out the math, and call out other studies as flawed and overrated,” says Daniel Cameron, MD, president of ILADS. http://www.ilads.org/news/lyme_press_releases/60.html Press Releases Sun, 26 Jul 2009 01:05:00 -0700 We want to keep you informed about everything ILADS is doing to spotlight the historic Infectious Disease Society of American (IDSA) hearings this week, Thursday, July 30th. The hearings are in response to a lawsuit against the IDSA, brought by Connecticut's Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. In his groundbreaking lawsuit, AG Blumenthal charged that the IDSA guidelines for Lyme disease prevent many seriously ill patients from getting necessary treatment. A 2008 settlement resulted in the IDSA agreeing to create a new panel to review its guidelines. The following professionals representing ILADS are testifying at the hearings—to be held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC: Daniel Cameron, MD, International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), California; Lorraine Johnson, JD, MBA, California Lyme Disease Association (CALDA), Ukiah, CA; Allison Delong, ILADS, Providence, RI; Ken Liegner, MD, ILADS, Armonk, NY; Steven Phillips, MD, ILADS, Wilton, CT; and Raphael Stricker, MD, ILADS, San Francisco, CA. See the IDSA website for a complete list of the presenters. ILADS News
