Invisible’s new “Babesiosis, Bartonellosis and (Lyme) Borreliosis Symptom Reference” is a one-page symptom list for three common tick- and flea-borne diseases. Patients with one of these diseases can become quite ill. Patients with all three — nicknamed “the 3-Bs” — can rapidly slide into a debilitating and life-threatening medical condition. This is why rapid diagnosis of these diseases, each which requires a unique treatment protocol, is so crucial.
In the acute phase, all three may start with flu-like symptoms—fever, chills, headache, and fatigue. As the diseases progress, there are symptom patterns that can help clinicians diagnose the individual ailments. Invisible’s symptom list can serve as a memory aid for clinicians, or as a prompt for patients in a waiting room. It will also be distributed to patients and clinicians by a pharmacy network in New Jersey.
This clinical tool fills an urgent need, in that there’s often a lag time from when new research reaches medical textbooks and frontline physicians. Invisible’s all-in-one list includes a full range of symptoms from common to less common, each of them backed by reports in peer-reviewed medical literature. It helps support better clinical decision-making, resulting in faster diagnoses and treatments, and less patient suffering.
