IDF Lunch Webinar - Tickborne infections: not just Lyme disease (borreliosis)

Event Details

We are delighted to invite you to our Lunch Webinar with Dr Jack Lambert who will be presenting on Tickborne infections: not just Lyme disease (borreliosis).

Ticks are all over the world, and people are being infected, sometimes knowingly, sometimes without knowledge of a tickbite or a classic 'bullseye' rash. While the medical community equates tickbites with Borrelia, the bacteria of Lyme, ticks can carry many other infections.

For example there has been a recent outbreak of Crimea Congo Hemorrhagic Fever in Spain, spread by ticks.There are now cases of TickBorne encephalitis in the UK, previously just found in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. In the UK and Ireland, the ticks are known to carry Borrelia, anaplasma/rickettsiae and Babesia.

Learning objectives:

• To have a better understanding of the epidemiology of tickborne infections in the UK
• To better understand diagnostic options
• To describe the clinical manifestations of these infections
• To discuss treatment options
