Lyme Neuroborreliosis-Significant Local Variations in Incidence within a Highly Endemic Region in Sweden.

The aim of this study was to perform a detailed epidemiological overview of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) 2008-2021 in a highly Lyme borreliosis-endemic area in Sweden using a geographic information system (GIS). Diagnosis of LNB was based on clinical symptoms and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) according to European guidelines. From laboratory databases and medical records, we detected all patients with CSF pleocytosis and intrathecal anti- antibody production and listed clinical features.
