Borrelia burgdorferi infection is a frequent disease in our country. The neurological complications of this infection are found essentially in the early dissemination stage and in the late stage of the disease. Neuroborreliosis symptoms are most often characterized by radiculalgia resisting to treatment, sometimes associated to a cranial neuropathy, predominantly facial. The evolution is satisfactory under adapted antibiotherapy. This antiobiotherapy remains necessary despite the fact that most neuroborreliosis complications resolve spontaneously. Treatment permits to avoid the appearance of late complications or of possible extraneurological symptoms.

True seronegativity is extremely rare in Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) with reports only in patients with hematological malignancies or under treatment with chemotherapy and B-cell depleting therapies. In these instances, diagnosing LNB can be challenging. We report the case of a 63-year-old patient with 2 independent episodes of LNB.

Background And Purpose: Clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl), include erythema migrans, Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), carditis, and arthritis. LB is a notifiable disease in Japan with <30 surveillance-reported LB cases annually, predominately from Hokkaido Prefecture. However, LB, including LNB, may be under-diagnosed in Japan since diagnostic tests are not readily available.

Methods: Data were obtained through routine health care at the UMC Ljubljana, Slovenia from 2005-2022, 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).

Background: Lyme disease (LD) is caused by and is the most common tickborne disease in the northern hemisphere. Although classical characteristics of LD are well-known, the diagnosis and treatment are often delayed. Laboratory diagnosis by serological testing is recommended for most LD manifestations.
