  • Comment on: Improving the diagnosis and referral process

    Stella Huyshe-Shires's comment 16-Jan-2013 6:15 pm

    It might even mean Lyme disease gets diagnosed! However, it all depends on the quality of Isabel's evidence base and the linked pathways. A recent NIHR exercise has shown that two of the top 10 uncertainties in Lyme disease diagnosis & treatment (ie verified unknowns) are which test is best and what the UK clinical presentation is like. And that's before we start on treatment. http://www.lymediseaseaction.org.uk/what-we-are-doing/research/ Any pathway needs to make uncertanties clear, so clinicians can make their own judgement.
