Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Lyme Disease: Discussion
9:00 am
Professor Karina Butler:
As we were saying, if patients present with early symptoms they do not even need to have a test. If it is characteristic, they should get their antibiotic treatment at that time. If it is at a later stage and they think the symptoms are related to Lyme disease, yes, a test can be done. There is no problem with that.
