Lyme Disease Treatment Market Estimated To Reach Significant Size 2018-2026: Key Players like Lupin Ltd, Mylan N.V., Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., Pfizer Inc., G&W Laboratories, Inc.,

Lyme disease is an infectious disease, caused due to the bacterium – Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through bites of infected adult black-legged ticks. Most human infections are caused by bites of nymphs (immature tick). Ticks can attach to any part of the human body and can transmit the infection, if attached to the host body for 36 to 48 hours. Blacklegged ticks are responsible for spreading Lyme disease in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central areas of the U.S. However, western black-legged ticks spread Lyme disease in the regions along the Pacific Coast. These regions are thus, expected to witness rapid growth of the market for Lyme disease treatment in the near future.

The early symptoms associated with Lyme disease include fever, headaches, chills, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, swollen lymph nodes, and characteristic skin rash (erythema migrans). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), erythema migrans affects around 70% to 80% of infected people, worldwide. However, untreated Lyme disease can lead to further discomfort, which includes intermittent pain in muscles, tendons, joints, and bones, coupled with severe headaches, neck stiffness, arthritis with severe joint pain, swelling in knees, facial palsy, increased heart palpitations or an irregular heartbeat, nerve pain, and inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

The major players operating in the Lyme disease treatment market include Lupin Ltd, Mylan N.V., Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., Pfizer Inc., G&W Laboratories, Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Sandoz AG, GlaxoSmithKline plc., and Hospira Inc.

According to International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS), Lyme disease is often difficult to diagnose and treat, resulting in persistent infections. ILADS recommends individualized treatment based on the severity of symptoms, tick-borne coinfections, and patient’s response to treatment. However, no single antibiotic or combination of antibiotics appears to be capable of eliminating the Lyme disease infection. Therefore, the prevailing cases of Lyme disease and large scope to develop the ideal antibiotic for treatment, are expected to boost the Lyme disease treatment market in the near future.

Lyme carditis is a rare complication in Lyme disease, which occurs when infection invades the tissue of the heart. This can interfere with normal heart rhythm resulting in mild, moderate, or severe heart blockage. Patients may experience palpitations, lightheadedness, blackouts, chest pain, and dyspnea. According to the National Surveillance Data, done by National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (NNDSS), between 2001 and 2010, Lyme carditis affected around 1% of patients suffering from Lyme disease, in the U.S. Lyme carditis can be treated with intravenous or oral antibiotics, preferably ceftriaxone. However, some patients might require implantation of a temporary or permanent pacemaker, depending upon the severity of infection.

Antibiotics are found to be the most effective treatment for Lyme disease. Patients with early stages of Lyme disease recover rapidly and completely with appropriate antibiotics such as doxycycline, amoxicillin, and cefuroxime axetil. Patients with certain neurological or cardiac illness may be treated with intravenous ceftriaxone. Patients bearing chronic symptoms of Lyme disease for over 6 months, can recover within a few weeks, through oral antibiotic treatment.
