Episode 475: LIVE from ILADS: Dr. Alexandr Zaitsev - Advancing Lyme Disease Diagnostics

Join us for a special LIVE episode from the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Conference with Dr. Alexandr Zaitsev, the founder of Universal Diagnostic Laboratories. Dr. Zaitsev shares groundbreaking insights into advanced diagnostic testing for Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Comprehensive Tick-Borne Disease Testing Universal Diagnostic Laboratories has developed Tick Plex Plus, a panel test capable of detecting 12 different microorganisms, including Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, and more. The test leverages ELISA technology to provide a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s tick-borne disease status. Addressing the Shift to Polymicrobial Infections Dr. Zaitsev discusses the increasing prevalence of poly-microbial infections, where patients present with multiple tick-borne pathogens. He attributes this shift to advancements in diagnostic technology, enabling detection of a broader range of microorganisms. Monitoring Treatment Progress Universal Diagnostic Laboratories offers a Long COVID test, which measures cytokine levels to track the body's inflammatory response and monitor treatment progress. Dr. Zaitsev recommends taking a baseline cytokine test and repeating it during or after treatment to assess improvements. Insurance Coverage and Accessibility Universal Diagnostic Laboratories collaborates with insurance providers, including Medicare, to make their tests affordable and accessible. The company strives to minimize out-of-pocket expenses while maintaining high-quality diagnostic solutions.
