Attorney General Statement On IDSA Guidelines Review Panel Report

April 22, 2010

         “My office is reviewing the IDSA’s reassessment of its 2006 Lyme disease guidelines mandated by its agreement with my office. The IDSA agreed to review its Lyme disease guidelines after my office uncovered credible evidence of undisclosed conflicts of interest and other significant flaws in the process that produced the guidelines.

“We will carefully and comprehensively assess the final report and the review process leading to that report to determine whether the IDSA fulfilled the requirements of our settlement.”
