Challenges to the Guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Society of America

 

The IDSA's 2006 Guidelines are commonly accepted as the prevailing authority. The following papers challenge the IDSA guidelines panel's interrpretation of the research on which the guidelines are based, and cite numerous studies that contradict their findings.

Dr. Maloney wrote several challenges to the 2006 IDSA guidelines on behalf of ILADS. 

Dr. Betty Maloney is the medical advisor for Minnesota Lyme Association. In that role, her goal is to provide accurate scientific information regarding tick-borne diseases to the medical community and the lay public.

Dr. Maloney is a family physician from Wyoming, MN. She graduated from the University of MN Medical School and completed her residency in family medicine at the University. She is a member of the American Academy of Family Practice, the Minnesota Academy of Family Practice and the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS).

Based on her review of the literature, she has developed individual continuing medical education courses on Lyme disease for nurses, chiropractors and physicians.
