Proportion of confirmed Lyme neuroborreliosis cases among adult patients with suspected early European Lyme neuroborreliosis.
Infection
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Purpose: To determine the frequency of confirmed Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) cases in adult patients with three different clinical presentations consistent with early LNB.
Methods: Data were obtained through routine health care at the UMC Ljubljana, Slovenia from 2005 to 2022, using clinical pathways. The patients were classified into three groups: (i) radicular pain of new onset (N = 332); or (ii) involvement of cranial nerve(s) but without radicular pain (N = 997); or (iii) erythema migrans (EM) skin lesion(s) in conjunction with symptoms suggestive of nervous system involvement but without either cranial nerve palsy or radicular pain (N = 240).

Genetic Diversity and Expanded Phenotypes in Dystonia: Insights from Large-Scale Exome Sequencing.
medRxiv
December 2024
Institute of Neurogenetics, University of Lübeck, 23538 Lübeck, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Dystonia is a common movement disorder with a complex genetic background, showing significant variability in its clinical presentation and genetics.
- The study involved exome sequencing of nearly 1,924 patients, mainly from two major registries, focusing on those with genetic prescreening negative results and early age at onset.
- Researchers discovered 137 likely pathogenic variants in 51 genes among the patients, with many being novel, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and understanding the disorder's genetic links.
