Neuroborreliosis with encephalitis: a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations
Neuroborreliosis can present with symptoms that mimic various neurological disorders, such as dementia, movement disorders, and epilepsy. Radiculitis, peripheral facial palsy or meningitis are an additional hint for this infectious disease. Analysis of CSF, which includes testing for intrathecally produced BB antibodies, is crucial for the diagnosis.
