Béla Pál Bózsik M.D. worked using classical dark-field microscopy, and realized there was a need for methods to distinguish between the spirochete and artefacts in the preparations. He has developed a reagent (DualDur), the blood sample is to be taken into this liquid. This reagent makes the other objects rigid and motionless and there are…

Your patient is suspected to have Lyme disease. Serology was inconclusive, PCR didn’t work? Are you looking for a more reliable diagnostic method? You have found one that was tested on over 40,000 samples.
The DualDur reagent and method was developed based on 30 years of experience in examining spirochetes, and diagnosing Lyme disease. The DualDur reagent will make it possible for the analyst in the laboratory analyzing blood samples to see only the spirochetes, 1,000x concentrated, alive and moving. This fact was confirmed by immunofluorescence and PCR. Countless investigations were carried out…

The clinical trial to observe the efficiency of DualDur In Vitro Diagnostic System, which was developed to diagnose Lyme borreliosis, was taking place between 2019 and 2020. The data from the research was used to examine the performance, sensitivity and specificity of the system and the positive and negative predictive values. Out of the observed…

A nationwide survey by LymeDisease.org confirms that current methods used to diagnose and treat Lyme disease are often faulty and inadequate. The overwhelming response rate – over 6,000 respondents within six weeks – demonstrates the urgency of this issue within the Lyme community. Sixty-two per cent of those who responded to the survey by LymeDisease.org…

Serology in Lyme borreliosis is certainly not magic, but it helps in certain situations. According to Béla Pál Bózsik M.D., the researcher who invented the DualDur methodology, experts have forgotten what it means in everyday practice that serology is an indirect diagnostic method. Seronegativity means that the method cannot demonstrate the presence of antibodies, for some reason or another.…

Out of 960 Lyme borreliosis patients with chronic symptoms, 707 had not been treated for the symptoms before – according to data from a Hungarian Lyme clinic. The patients were diagnosed with other disorders, e.g. autoimmune, rheumatologic, neurologic or psychiatric diseases. Treatment schedule of the 960 patients The diagnosis and treatment of Lyme borreliosis is a subject with…

“As people in the US struggle to get tested for COVID-19, I am thinking of the difficulty of getting tested for Lyme disease. Although Lyme first appeared in the medical literature more than four decades ago in 1975, there is still no reliable way to test people for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The…
