CXCL13 levels in cerebrospinal fluid in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: The role of Borrelia in neuroinfections
The Borrelia antibodies were found positive in CSF samples of RRMS patients. The coexistence of high CXCL13 (may be a potential biomarker) suggests that LNB may also play a role in the etio-pathogenesis of RRMS. In addition, the positive detection of OspC and p58 WB bands in most cases suggests that these protein bands can be used as in the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases and Lyme disease.
