A physician could lose his license for treating serum-negative Lyme disease:

Today, Jemsek is known for treating patients he believes suffer from chronic Lyme disease, a form of the illness the medical establishment doesn’t believe exists. But many of his patients test negative when given the standard blood test for Lyme disease.

The dispute could cost Jemsek his license to practice. In December, the North Carolina Medical Board charged him with improperly diagnosing Lyme disease and treating it via long-term courses of intravenous antibiotics, which violates the prescribed care standards.
