Lyme Disease: Immune Suppression vs Autoimmune

In today’s broadcast we will discuss the most up-to-date literature regarding Lyme disease and it’s associations with immune suppression and how this affects testing for Borellia species. Furthermore, we will also discuss the current evidence regarding autoimmunity in Lyme patients and how this may translate into successful patient outcomes using a new paradigm for this illness.
