The cases of Lyme disease in Australia have increased in the last few years. What’s more scary is the fact that most doctors find it really difficult to diagnose cases of Lyme disease in Australia. Recent studies have also found that Lyme disease can be genetic. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: Is There A Genetic Connection With Lyme Disease?


1
Is There A Genetic Connection With Lyme
Disease?
Dr. Peter Dobie

Recently, a few researchers have discovered a
genetic/hereditary factor that enhances the odds
of individuals experiencing extreme joint pain or
chronic arthritis.   The bacterium that thrives
in the body of ticks causes Lyme disease.   Now,
there a debate and discussion going on amongst
doctors to establish the fact that whether Lyme
is genetic or not. As of late, they have
discovered a genetic/hereditary variable that
increases the odds of individuals experiencing
chronic arthritis. This can change the illness
from a practically unnoticeable disease to a
problem that may remain for a long time.

This type of joint pain/arthritis affects only
one person out of ten amongst whom the illness is
untreated. Every one of them has an acquired
factor, a segment on the surface of the white
platelets. This chronic joint pain generally
consists of similar antibiotics that cure joint
pain in its early stage. However, these
medications are ineffectual in the later
stages.   Amazingly, Scientists don't have
information, whether patient's heart and
different problem have connections to genetic
elements.

But, they strongly believe that in the long run,
the genetic angle may open up new roads for Lyme
disease treatment. For example, individuals who
experience the ill effects of this illness may
likewise get a thorough antibiotic treatment.
This finding was one of the many researches done
on an undeniably distressing d illness.   These
discoveries likewise add to one of the most
stubborn issues that specialists confront with
the Lyme disease, which is the failure to
determine accurately that who suffers from the
Lyme disease in Australia and who does not. The
study is one among the many studies done on the
increasingly annoying diseases.

  • Fundamental Factors Of Lyme Disease
  •  
  • As you now realise that, the primary driver of
    Lyme disease in Australia is a bacterium that
    escalates through small ticks. Many individuals
    who are bitten by the ticks build up a bulls eye
    rash. A week or a few days later, there are high
    possibilities that they experience the ill
    effects of influenza or flu like symptoms, which
    might also incorporate fever, swollen lymph
    organs, headache and uneasiness. In some cases,
    for a large portion of them, the side effects are
    gentle and in other cases, there is no symptom by
    any means. Despite the fact that many people
    recoup completely, for others, the symptoms
    develop years later.

As of late, researchers and specialists have
reported these discoveries at various seminars on
Lyme disease in Australia. Analysts are
completing more studies on the nature and
occurrence of the illness. Until that time, it is
critical for individuals who experience the ill
effects of Lyme disease to get an early treatment
and go for preventive measures.   The bottom line
here is that the prevention and early detection
are the best way to treat Lyme disease in
Australia.
