In general, faculty do not see patients with Morgellons disease, nor patients who report having a parasite for two months unless they submit a laboratory report confirming a parasitic infection from a laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists.
For patients who have diagnoses of chronic Lyme disease, we generally take the approach based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines. We do not take the approach used by physicians who are known as Lyme literate physicians.
