Chronic neuroborreliosis by B. garinii: an unusual case presenting with epilepsy and multifocal brain MRI lesions
Giovanni Matera, et al NEW MICROBIOLOGICA, 37, 393-397, 2014
Late/chronic Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) represents a challenging entity whose diagnosis requires a combination of clinical and laboratory findings, surrounded by much controversy.
Here we describe a patient who had a peculiar form of late LNB with CNS lesions shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and epileptic seizures, etiologically diagnosed by conventional and molecular methods.
Really, why is it that brain seizures in late- stage Lyme is only ” peculiar”to scientists? There are videos all over YT of people seizing with Lyme disease. It is not peculiar to find evidence of late stage Lyme in the brain.
