Topic: IDSA Lyme guidelines removed from NGC

The National Guidelines Clearinghouse–a federal database that provides treatment information to health care professionals and insurance companies–has removed the IDSA Lyme disease treatment guidelines from its website recently.

This means that the only Lyme disease guidelines listed on the NGC are those of ILADS, which were posted in 2014. This is quite good for the Lyme community. Here’s the backstory.

This is a tremendous milestone and thanks to all the hard work put into this. It will be one triad on the road to victory if it can be made permanent. The others are CDC updating its guidelines to accept them (go to CDC's Facebook page to motivate them); and acceptance and education by the medical community at large and insurance companies.
