Neues zur neuroborreliose

Lyme-disease comprises a multitude of clinically well characterized manifestations affecting different organ systems. For a neurologist, the acute neuroborreliosis is normally easy to handle, due to clear-cut clinical and CSF-findings. However, reports have appeared in both the lay press and the medical literature of persons who were diagnosed as having Lyme disease and subsequently developed non-specific symptoms attributed to so-called chronic neuroborreliosis. In this article, some recent contributions to this discussion as well as latest developments concerning early chemoprophylaxis and vaccination are reported.
