IDSA Affiliations With Editorial Boards Of The 20 Leading Publications Ranked By The Number Of Articles Published By IDSA Lyme Guideline Authors This information was compiled in 2008 for the Connecticut Attorney General Lyme disease antitrust invest­i­ga­tion.

Closed Meetings Involving the CDC, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and Lyme Disease.  This information was assembled for the Lyme Disease Antitrust Investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General. The minutes of these meetings clearly show an alliance between the CDC, a public health agency, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), a private medical society. An invest­i­ga­tion of the CDC was beyond the authority of the Connecticut Attorney General. The minutes of these meetings have been removed from the Internet. The most relevant entries have been highlighted.

NCID/CDC/BSC Meetings Minutes Analysis – 2002 - 2006  These are excerpts from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)/National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID)/Board  of Scientific Counselors (BSC) minutes from meetings that took place from December 2002 until the reorganization in March 2007. The NCID has announced that their materials, presumably including these minutes, will be removed from the Internet. Only excerpts of meetings relevant to Lyme disease or the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) are included. References to Walter Stamm are also included. Stamm was the president of IDSA in 2005, the time of the meeting where promoting IDSA Lyme disease guidelines and disparaging alternative Lyme disease guidelines was discussed.

NCID/CDC/BSC May 2005 Meeting - the genesis of the 2006 IDSA Lyme disease guidelines This restricted meeting in May 2005 was the genesis of the corrupted Lyme disease guidelines issued by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) in 2006 and investigated by the Connecticut Attorney General for antitrust violations. Attendees included the NCID, CDC, and Dr. Walter Stamm of the University of Washington and a past president of IDSA. The subject of eliminating “rogue guidelines” advocating long-term treatment for Lyme disease (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS)) was discussed. Disparaging comments were made about Lyme disease patients, their doctors, and the laboratories that serve these patients.
