Borreliabakteeri saattaa aiheuttaa keskushermostossa erilaisia tulehduksia kuten enkefaliittia, nopeasti etenevää periferaalista neuropatiaa ja kivuliasta radilkulopatiaa.

Is neuroborreliosis a medical emergency?

Halperin JJ.

Clinical Professor of Neurology, NYU School of Medicine, Great Neck, NY.

Although Lyme disease affects the nervous system in many ways (collectively known as neuroborreliosis), only rarely does it present as a medical emergency. In extreme cases, it may cause (1) encephalitis, (2) a rapidly progressive peripheral neuropathy, or (3) a painful truncal radiculopathy that may be confused with a severe visceral process. Knowing when to consider this spirochetosis in the differential diagnosis requires an understanding of its true clinical spectrum, and of an appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Borrelioosia sairastavilta puolalaisilta potilailta on löydetty laaja kirjo hermosoluja vastaan toimivia vasta-aineita. Löytö saattaa olla merkittävä neuroborrelioosin patogeneesiä selvitettäessä.

Wide spectrum of autoantibodies reactive against neuronal antigens was detected in sera of 32 of 50 studied patients with Lyme borreliosis. This may be potentially of importance in the pathogenesis of neuroborreliosis.
