Untreatable form of Lyme disease could hit two million Americans by 2020, scientists warn
Scientists predict the number of people suffering from a little-understood type of Lyme disease could spike to almost 2 million in 2020.
The condition is poorly understood; there is no set diagnosis for it, and treatment is controversial, the authors wrote. The cause is unknown—some believe the bug can disrupt the immune system—and it can take months to recover. Past estimates suggest treatments fail in between 10 and 20 percent of cases, which could cost the U.S. economy up to $1 billion per year.
For their study, the scientists drew on several pools of data to create a model to estimate the number of PTLD cases that occurred between 2016 and 2020. That included data collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , as well as past estimates of Lyme disease rates, survival rates and examples of treatments failing.
