Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion (Resumed)
11:35 am
Dr. Colette Bonner:
In regard to the difference in numbers, I will let Dr. Darina O'Flanagan deal with that. The difference to the diagnosis Dr. Cryan referred to relates to the total number of cases of Lyme disease, whereas I am discussing notifications which relate to neuroborreliosis, a very specific neurological complication of it. Dr. O'Flanagen will talk to that. Dr. McKeown will explain the toolkit and other educational material that has been available from HPSC for a long time for clinicians and the public.
