DUTCHESS COUNTY LYME DISEASE CONFERENCE |

|
November 1, 1999 Lyme Disease Conference at Bard College The Lyme Disease Conference originally scheduled for October, will take place on Saturday, November 13th and Sunday, November 14th, at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, 5 minutes north of the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, on Route 9G. An internationally known panel of presenters will discuss the most recent developments in research and clinical management of Lyme Disease and other tick-borne diseases. Among the faculty are the following: Dr. Willy Burgdorfer, of NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratories, the primary researcher who discovered the Lyme spirochete, Borrelia Burgdorferi. Drs. David Dorward and Paul Doray, also of the National Institutes of Health, research scientists who have studied Lyme Diseases for many years. Dr. Carmine Sorbera, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at New York Medical College, who will be addressing Lyme Carditis. Since Lyme Disease is a multi-system infection, various speakers will address the clinical implications of Lyme Disease on different organs, as well as the complexities of diagnosis. The fields of neurology, pediatrics and psychiatry will be represented, among others. Faculty affiliations include Yale, University of California at Davis, and Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Research has suggested that co-infections could make the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease more difficult. Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis, two co-infections that have been under investigation, will be discussed by several of the speakers. The Northeast is by far the most endemic part of the country for Lyme Disease. By holding the conference on the weekend, and by keeping the cost low, the conference committee hopes to attract a large number of area physicians and allied health professionals, in order to promote the health and well-being of our residents.
