Question 23059 — diseases

Summary

Mrs. Laure de La Raudière alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health about Lyme borreliosis. Although a “Lyme Plan” was put in place in 2018, it is clear that patients have, to date, not seen things change. There is still no reliable test to detect the disease and many patients find themselves in medical limbo, some with Lyme disease treatments while they have another pathology; others with ineffective treatments to fight Lyme disease. Furthermore, despite the recommendations made by the High Authority for Health (HAS), particularly regarding treatment protocols (taking antibiotics for several weeks; taking into account the stage of infection), these are not currently applied, and patients struggle to access treatments adapted to their condition, even in certain so-called “reference” centers. Furthermore, while the international scientific community agrees on the existence of a chronic form of the disease; in France, there is still reluctance to recognize it despite repeated requests from patient associations. Also, she would like to know what actions she is taking so that the chronic form of Lyme disease is finally recognized, but also if she plans to remind the medical community of the recommendations regarding treatment protocols made by the HAS in its June 2018 report. Finally, she asks if new, more reliable tests are currently being validated by the High Authority for Health.
