  • Title: Pleural effusion as a manifestation of Lyme disease.
    Author: Chen HC, Shih CM, Lai JH, Chao LL, Kuo SY, Chang DM.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 2004 Apr; 31(4):811-3. PubMed ID: 15088314.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 37-year-old woman who presented with bilateral pleural effusion combined with intermittent low grade fever. Lyme disease was confirmed by seroreactivities against Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes. The unique clinical findings reveal a rare manifestation with a possible association between B. burgdorferi infection and pleural effusion.
