Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Lyme Disease: Discussion
9:00 am
Dr. John Lambert:
These are the same doctors who give prolonged treatment for bone infections by prescribing outpatient antibiotics for six weeks, 12 weeks or six months. In one situation for chronic Lyme disease, it is dangerous to administer antibiotics but for other infections, it is not dangerous.
The best way to resolve this matter is if I responded to these documents in an open forum. I can provide the committee with data that updates the IDSI document, which I have never seen.
