Question 16952 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Falcon draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity to the shortcomings in the treatment of Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a constantly growing pathology, the vectors of which are ticks infected with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. Statistics reveal significant increase in reported cases in recent years, highlighting urgent need for action to prevent its spread and ensure adequate care for affected people. Unfortunately, Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed and underrecognized, leading to serious consequences for patients, including disabling symptoms and various complications. In addition, the medical management of this disease still remains subject to debate, due to the diversity of symptoms and the complexity of the therapeutic protocols. Faced with this alarming situation, the MP calls for the establishment of a major national plan for the prevention of Lyme disease, aiming to: raise public awareness of the risks of this disease, strengthen epidemiological surveillance in order to better understand the evolution of the disease and adapt prevention strategies accordingly, promote research on Lyme disease, particularly in financially supporting the various studies, training health professionals to recognize and effectively manage the disease, promoting collaboration between the different actors involved in the fight against Lyme disease. He asks for official recognition of Lyme disease as a pathology in its own right, in order to guarantee equitable access to care for infected patients and to fight against prejudice or any form of stigma.
