Dr.
Bozsik is a WILDER VIP!
....And a member of our International Advisory Committee! We appreciate Dr. Bozsik's efforts to investigate the complications associated with the microscopic organism, Borellia Burgdorferi, causing Lyme borelliosis and for educating and helping people all over the world understand more about this disease.
A WELCOME FROM DR. MCNEIL:
It was a great pleasure for me that Dr. Bela Bozsik agreed to become one of our VIPs and to give us an important glimpse into what is happening with the spread of Lyme disease in his country, Hungary. We are grateful he agreed to give a report on the ongoing investigations in a country that has Lyme disease spreading, as it is spreading in so many other countries East and West.
I know his city of Budapest well, having visited there on three occasions, the first time while the Russians were still occupying the beautiful city. On the other visits I met many doctors at conferences and can only now wish I had met Bela Bozsik personally on one of those trips. Dr. Bozsik may not tell you himself but I should let you know that Buda and Pest are places well worth visiting for a holiday. I should also explain that Budapest is all one city with Buda being separated from Pest by the River Danube. Welcome Bela to Wilder Network.

Dear
Readers!
I am a retired physician with 9+25 years practice in microscopy and serologic investigations, and some practice with cultivating Borellia burgdorferi sensu lato.
I was forced to retire, but there were people to help me follow my work in diagnosing Lyme borreliosis and to consult with patients for their diagnosis and treatment. The first Lyme Clinic was set up according to my proposals and it has been running since 2002 in accordance with the flowchart presented at the First Alternative International Symposium on The Clinical Side of Lyme Disease as Satellite of ICLB. After completing and introducing nearly all my intentions into the practice, I was again forced to move away from this Lyme Clinic. Now I am working to set up the First Lyme Center adjoining to or near a main hospital in Budapest. It is very near to being realized. There is a plan to accept foreign patients for investigation and treatment with our original methods and schedule for patients from Middle Europe in the Lyme Center.
It is a great honor to present our work on Lyme borreliosis, endemic in this region since 1984, where there are three substrains causing very different clinical pictures of this world-wide disease. I am proud to have a VIP section at Wildernetwork.org for this knowledge among the famous LLMDs. Thank you very much!
I hope that the well-known website of Wildernetwork.org will give the possibility for free discussion with no prerequisites for the problems on several aspects of Lyme borreliosis.
I met a colleague at the Second Congress in Vienna, when the study of Lyme borreliosis had just begun in Europe. We admired each other and both had the similar idea to investigate Lyme disease both in Los Angeles and in Budapest in 1984. That colleague was Paul Lavoie from the US. He was a rheumatologist from the US and I am a retired pathologist specializing in serology from the Eastern Block.
Since that time a lot of water has flown down the Danube and my old friend has gone away, but our ideas remained:
Diagnostic reagents for syphilis could detect antibody binding to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, if the absorption phase in the reaction would be left. In this way the sensitivity became increased and the antibody could be detectable, but the reaction has borderline character and should be evaluated with caution.
This story from the early times when there were not such fiery debates highlighted the importance of the evaluation of the laboratory results in relation to the applied method(s). It should be very interesting for all of us to know the clear-cut difference in detecting the errors of the antibody determination. There is one order of magnitude difference in the characterization of the methods in relation to the biostatistical evaluation of 50 thousand determinations with one method, and the results of other parallel investigations with different methods comparing them to the most sensitive one. Therefore, about 60 percent of the reactions with our early reagent failed to diagnose Lyme borreliosis, although there were under 2 percent false-negative and 7 percent false-positive reactions.
False-positivity is an evergreen myth in serology. All colleagues are kindly encouraged to compare their results with parallel investigations via methods of different sensitivity.
In our practice, the passive haemaglutination method after the pretest absorption procedure, fails to determine more than 60 percent of the samples compared to Enzygnost ELISA (Behring, Germany) .

TICK
BYTES:
Tick-borne diseases are spreading rapidly
in many countries across the world including,
UK, Scandinavia, Hungary, Scotland, USA,
France, Germany, China, and Australia.
There is NO 100% accurate Lyme disease
TEST available to detect infection or cure.
Ticks can be found in and around
leaf litter; grass; logs; animal fur;
bird feeders; and deer, mice, squirrel,
and other small animal habitats.
