Kroonistuneen borrelioosin seurauksena venäläinen mies sairastui aivokalvojen ja hermojuurten tulehdukseen (Bannwarthin syndrooma). Mies oli saanut punkinpureman 2 vuotta aiemmin. Hän sai pureman välityksellä elimistöönsä sekä borreliabakteerin että riketsian (=mikrobeita jotka ovat bakteereita pienempiä mutta viruksia suurempia).

The onset of chronic Lyme-borreliosis after the cure of tick-borne rickettsia infection in simultaneous infection

Mediannikov OIu, Sidel'nikov IuN.

A case of a male patient with chronic Lyme borreliosis running with marked neurological symptoms (Garin-Bujardoux-Bannwarth syndrome) is reported. Two
years before the disease manifestation the patient was infected by the tick with both borrelia and Rickettsia sibirica. The latter infection provoked an acute fever in tick-borne rickettsiosis immediately after the tick's bite. This masked development of Lyme borreliosis which manifested only 5 months
later as a neurological disease. It is thought necessary to propose a rational scheme of antibiotic treatment of patients with tick-transmissible diseases.
