The Royal College of Pathologists
of Australasia (RCPA) has released
a new position statement
surrounding the diagnostic testing
and management of Lyme disease
in Australia and New Zealand.
Dr Stephen Graves, a spokesman
for the RCPA, explained that as of
January this year, ticks native to
Australia and New Zealand were
not thought to carry the Borrelia
spp bacteria that caused Lyme
disease.
He added that the disease was
often found in travellers returning
from countries where the disease
was endemic, having been bitten
by an infected carrier tick prior to
returning to Australia.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 08 Apr 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 08 Apr 14
