Lyme Disease Patients Denied Treatment Following New 2006 IDSA Guidelines: Connecticut Attorney General Launches Anti-Trust Investigation

Connecticut State Attorney General, Richard Blumenthal, files a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) in an unprecedented move following the October 2006 release of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines that are already being used to deny Lyme disease patient care. Under the new IDSA Guidelines, treatment is significantly more restrictive despite an extensive body of medical research that clearly documents persistent chronic Lyme disease and the benefits of long-term Lyme treatment. The new IDSA Guidelines are being used as the basis to deny medical care by physicians and deny insurance coverage for treatment. A Lyme Rights Protest against the new IDSA Guidelines is scheduled for Thursday November 30, 2006 from 12-3PM at Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College. (PRWeb Nov 29, 2006)
