CDC Lyme Disease
The medical controversy in Lyme Disease has to do with diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease and especially Chronic Lyme Disease.  The CDC takes a much more conservative approach in diagnosis and treatment by following the Infectious Disease Society of America's guidelines (IDSA).  The problem is that the IDSA admit to having little or no objective evidence for their recommendations.  The IDSA guidelines are currently being investigated by the Connecticut Attorney General's office for the exclusionary way that they developed their lyme disease guidelines.  While I feel that the CDC is not an accurate website for lyme disease information, I am including it so that you will have a better picture of both sides of the argument.

When to Suspect Lyme
Prior to proper diagnosis, patients habitually report that they were assigned the following diagnoses most often: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Candidiasis, Chronic mononucleosis, Hypoglycemia, and Stress-related illness. If these appear in a differential diagnosis, then LD should be considered.

Potentially misleading Western blot results in Lyme disease diagnosis | British Journal of Biomedical Science
It was noted recently that serum from a patient with confirmed parvovirus B19 infection crossreacted with the in-house Borrelia burgdorferi IgG Western blot. This could lead to the wrong interpretation of Western blot results. This study aims to discover if other viral infections produce similar results with the B. burgdorferi IgG Western blot.

Activisim - IDSA Investigation

The IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America), have issued guidelines for lyme disease that Insurance Companies often use to deny chronic lyme patients medical treatment. 

The IDSA denies that chronic lyme disease even exists despite numerous studies that show persistence of the infection.

Serious conflicts of interest have been discovered by an investigation into the writers of the guidelines.  This has resulted in the IDSA agreeing to review the guidelines in order to avoid legal action.  The process of choosing new panel members will be overseen by a medical ethicist.
