AI Article Synopsis
- - Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is the most common bacterial infection affecting the nervous system in Denmark.
- - A case study reveals that a young man with LNB showed MRI and CSF results similar to those seen in multiple sclerosis.
- - The report highlights the need for testing for Borrelia antibodies in the CSF, especially when cell counts are low or normal, and notes that diagnostic delays for NBL have not improved over the last 20 years.
Article Abstract
Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is the most prevalent nervous system bacterial infection in Denmark. In a young man with LNB, brain MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) demonstrated findings compatible with multiple sclerosis. This case report underlines the requirement for testing for intrathecal Borrelia antibody production when the number of cells in the CSF is low or even normal. It also demonstrates the unchanged diagnostic delay of NBL observed during the last 20 years.
