The 2006 IDSA Lyme disease guidlines were the subject of
an anti-trust investigation by the CT Attorney General. To
settle the lawsuit, the IDSA agreed to have a new,
independent panel review the guidlines and the
recommendations regarding the diagnosis and
management of Lyme disease. As part of that process,
interested parties could send written submissions to the
panel for its consideration. The following were submitted:
Dr. Betty Maloney is the medical advisor for Minnesota
Lyme Action Support Group. 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’s developed individual continuing medical education
courses on Lyme disease for nurses, chiropractors and
physicians. Dr. Maloney wrote several challenges to the
2006 IDSA guidelines on behalf of ILADS. Her paper, “The
Need for Clinical Judgment in the Diagnosis and Treatment
of Lyme Disease” was published in the Journal of the
American Association of Physicians and Surgeons in
September, 2009.
