Question 16049 — diseases

Summary

Mrs. Marine Le Pen draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the lack of care for the consequences of Lyme disease, in particular those of related co-infections. Transmitted by tick bite, this disease affects around 15,000 people each year, who are likely to develop, in the absence of early care, pathologies that are sometimes seriously disabling, with possible after-effects. neurological, joint, cardiac and ophthalmological. In addition to the absence of sufficiently reliable diagnostic tests, patient associations are concerned about insufficient recognition of Lyme disease by public authorities. This does not appear among the ranks of long-term conditions, reimbursement by social security of certain care and expenses is in fact impossible to obtain by patients. She asks him about the follow-up given to the proposals made by the High Authority for Health in June 2018, as part of the Plan to combat Lyme disease initiated in January 2017 by the Ministry of Health (development of the prevention of tick-borne diseases, training and assistance with diagnosis and care, telemedicine, research; promotion of the training of biologists; awareness-raising general) and more particularly on the recognition of this disease as a long-term condition.
