Environmental Illness Due to Tick-borne Infections

Ticks are in the environment and the infections they vector to humans are very much environmental medicine problems. This course is a half-day workshop for physicians to learn how to diagnose and treatment these environmental infections. There are over a dozen medical references in print, proving by positive cultures despite antibiotics, that tick-borne infections may be chronic. Some physicians deny the existence or severity of chronic Lyme disease, or chronic borreliosis. These patients exist and do get better with treatments. They deserve help, for their chronic pain, fatigue, cognitive, ophthalmic, neurological or other medical problems. In an effort to avoid diagnostic delays and the duration of illness, physicians must learn to recognize chronic tick-borne infections.

A Practical Guide to Sublingual Immunotherapy
Sublingual immunotherapy has been gaining the attention of increased number of physicians treating patients with allergies. AAEM first introduced this form of therapy many years ago, and is proud to sponsor this elective which will give attendees an overview as well as the specifics in the theory and practice of sublingual immunotherapy for treating allergies.

This course is designed to be both a didactic review and an interactive discussion and hands-on practicum of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
