Multi-systemic Infectious Disease
Syndrome.- MSIDS
The same pathogensis and biological
effects are seen in multiple disease processes: Chronic Lyme Disease,
Autoimmune disorders, CFS, FMS, E.I./MCS, ADS, linking the multiple
etiologies in these diseases to the differential diagnosis in MSIDS
MSIDS provides a map for Chronic
Diseases.
Richard Horowitz presentation to a
forum in New York State.
Optimal Diagnostic and Therapeutic
modalities are presently undefined but treating using the 15 point
differential diagnostic map in MSIDS helps.

MSIDS(Horowitz 2009) would better
define chronic Borrelia and Co -infections, who suffer with chronic
fatigue, muscle and joint pain, neuropathy and neuropsychiatric
abnormalities. These patients have multiple overlapping etiologies
responsible for their symptoms.

For all patients with Chronic Lyme Disease, Autoimmune Disorders, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Environmental Illnesses, Multiple Chemical sensitivity, Autism Spectrum Disorder this presentation is a must watch.
