  • Title: [The clinical picture of Lyme disease in neurology].
    Author: Pavlović D, Lević Z, Dmitrović R.
    Journal: Glas Srp Akad Nauka Med; 1993; (43):203-12. PubMed ID: 8262408.
    Abstract:
    Neuroborreliosis of central and peripheral nervous system was found in 24 patients with typical and atypical clinical syndromes. Information about tick bite was obtained in only 1/3 of our patients. Specific antibodies were found in 3/4 by flourescent antibody test, oligoclonal bands in 1/2, and signs of inflammation in cerebrospinal fluid in 1/3 of patients. The majority had favourable reaction to antibiotic therapy. It is necessary to investigate every case of suspected neuroborreliosis because it can imitate many neurological diseases. One must insist on information about the tick bite and/or erythema migrans and search for specific antibody production, both in blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
