Meningoencephalomyeloradiculoneuritis in one case of Borrelia burgdorferi infection (Lyme disease)

Ital J Neurol Sci. 1989 Aug;10(4):457-61. doi: 10.1007/BF02334954.

Abstract

We describe a patient having serologically confirmed Borrelia burgdorferi infection manifesting meningoencephalomyeloradiculoneuritis. The clinical and MRI features suggested a multifocal vascular nervous system involvement. EMG-ENG showed abnormalities consistent with axonal degeneration initially involving the more proximal segments of the lower limb nerves.
