A patient came to see me following a
tick bite, which probably dates back 3 days. She has no symptoms… and I remember
that I prescribed an antibiotic to a patient in the same situation last year… I will still check the latest
recommendations because there is a lot of talk about Lyme disease For some time now,
there may have been new work. I go to the Antibioclic website. It is a good tool for supporting
therapeutic decisions in antibiotic therapy. It is regularly updated. The search is simple, on the home page,
“antibiotic search” I choose the field,
the pathology.
So for the moment no erythema migrans,
I choose the age group. no kidney failure, no pregnancy
and no breastfeeding, And I am advised to monitor the progress,
the recommendations are therapeutic abstention in the absence of symptoms. The recommendations have changed since
last year, but I see in the sources that the HAS update dates from June 2018. Come on, it's good, I'm up to date on the subject.
