Regrettably, the Infectious Disease Society of America has published knowingly egregiously inaccurate Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease. These Guidelines have resulted in a horrific toll of iatrogenic morbidity and mortality. IDSA evinces a consistent pattern of ignoring the science and an avalanche of entreties by experts in the field to change the guidelines. Then attorney general of Connecticut (now Senator) Richard Blumenthal sued IDSA over the guidelines on antitrust grounds. A settlement agreement was reached, but IDSA has broken the terms of the agreement and it's Guidelines remain unchanged. Shameful.
