Q. What is the current and expected evolution of prevalence, geographical spread and impact of ticks and tick-borne diseases, and what strategies are needed to improve management, testing, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases amongst patients and animal populations?

Abstract

Little is formally documented on the lived experience of Lyme disease - the state of diagnosis, treatment & care and the impact on the lives of those infected. Lyme Resource Centre (LRC) conducted an online survey to gather information on the impact of Lyme disease on those directly affected in the United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland. The survey responses from those infected 18 years old or under are summarised and presented here.
