Question 31448 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Richard Ramos alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the serious concerns of people suffering from Lyme disease and of people who, due to lack of screening and treatment, find themselves in therapeutic wandering. Lyme borreliosis in France, as monitored by the Sentinels network, has experienced an upsurge since 2014. Its diagnosis and management are complex given the diversity of associated symptoms (arthritic, neurological, dermatological manifestations) and the sometimes long delay of several months or even several years between the bite and the appearance of symptoms. Several uncertainties and non-answers remain on the subject including: the reliability of serological tests of which there are several generations; the non-official recognition of persistent polymorphic post-tick-bite syndrome (PPTS); the publication contradictory recommendations compared to those of the HAS; the insufficient resources allocated to research work, training and awareness raising among doctors about this disease. Also, in response to patients' concerns, he asked how the Government plans to support research into this disease, what resources will be allocated and how they will be "directed".
