We specialize in diagnosing and treating Lyme Disease.
Lyme Disease is one of the most stubborn, treatment-resistant infections in the world. It is also spreading rapidly on all continents. Recent research indicates that, in addition to tick bites, Lyme Disease may also be transmitted by sexual contact and bites from other insects.
Borrelia Burgdorferi, the elusive and dangerous bacteria responsible for Lyme Disease, can mimic many seemingly unrelated diseases, leading to frequent misdiagnosis of the infection.
More difficult than diagnosing Lyme Disease is successfully treating it. In many cases, standard antibiotic treatment fails and symptoms persist. When this occurs, Lyme Disease becomes chronic, leading to indefinite suffering.
As a result of misdiagnosis, low treatment success rates, and the worldwide prevalence of this insidious infection, Lyme Disease is becoming a burgeoning threat to public health. In fact, it is estimated that there are more than 200,000 new Lyme Disease cases per year in the United States alone―many of which are not diagnosed and treated properly. Lyme Disease represents a clear and present danger to the health of hundreds of thousands of people in dozens of countries.
