Some doctors in Australia
are like some of their American counter parts and think like this (Thanks Ginger):

Watch This Development
A current clinical case proves positive on tissue biopsy, and is quickly followed by another.
From 1992 Dr Mayne has had an intense interest in the
early initial infection (erythema migrans) that goes on to cause Chronic Lyme
Disease. This
interest was sharpened by the dermatology diploma he did in 2005 in terms of
early recognition of the disease and also the unique skin manifestation that can
rarely occur much later in the disease. See photos on this hyperlink.
In October 2009 he was approached by a patient who was quite
desperate with an advanced presentation after 102 tick bites in one day some
seven years before. Her treatment (Westmead Hospital specialist directed) was failing after some
initial herx reactions. Could
he help? Could he take on the task of up skilling himself in this sad neglected
area of medicine in Australia, where most doctors don't believe the disease
exists?
The many pages to follow explore these questions with
remarkable findings for both patients and doctors. For the latter this will be
mainly for the medical gatekeeper, the patients GP. It is not intended that a
patient or non medical person will necessarily be able to understand the information presented within
for doctors.
Take a look at this doctor's profound acknowledgement
and reversal of opinion

Lyme pages are under constant development over many months from
March 2010. A major revision was commenced in February 2011 to reorder the
presentation. It is quite organic and no apology is offered for the current
synthesis of diverse materials.
