"Whereas recent research further demonstrates the persistence of Borrelia spirochetes after antibiotic treatment that follows the guidelines used in Canada (Embers et al., 2012) and indicates that current serology does not adequately describe the diversity of Borrelia bacteria existing in Canada and that the general understanding of, and practices for dealing with, Lyme disease are no longer sufficient or in line with emerging evidence of how the disease operates (Ogden et al., 2011); "
It seems Canada has followed in our wake in the past, adopting the IDSA's guidelines for lyme in the past, but now are seeking their own independent protocol/approach.
Could this be huge or is it nothing to get excited about? I'm imagining Canada treating and recognizing chronic lyme a few years from now with the passage of this bill...am I crazy?
