Lyme emergence in Brazil & IDSA denial

Linda’s comment: Where will it all end…..Lyme has become a world-wide epidemic, yet the ISDA boys/girls say there is not such thing as chronic Lyme!! I don’t know where they went to medical school but they need to ask for a refund from their medical school. Many of the IDSA members have written published studies on Lyme and the co-infections, yet they deny treatment to suffering people….

Excerpt:
An emerging clinical entity that reproduces clinical manifestations
similar to those observed in Lyme disease (LD) has been recently
under discussion in Brazil. Due to etiological and laboratory particularities
it is named LD-like syndrome or LD imitator syndrome. The
condition is considered to be a zoonosis transmitted by ticks of the
genus Amblyomma, possibly caused by interaction of multiple fastidious
microorganisms originating a protean clinical picture, including
neurological, osteoarticular and erythema migrans-like lesions.
