摘要: Of the 96 serologically confirmed neuroborreliosis cases seen in our clinic between 1983 and 1988, 11 patients had mild to moderate 4 serious cerebral and/or spinal cord symptoms. Nine of these 15 with CNS involvement exhibited a primary chronic course illness. After high-dose intravenous therapy penicillin, doxycycline or cefotaxime, given mostly combination cortisone, gradual recovery occurred normalization CSF findings characteristic neuroborreliosis, significantly elevated Borrelia burgdorferi IgG antibody titres serum. Brain MRI CT showed evidence were suggestive vascular which correlated clinical symptoms involvement. changes that similar but much slighter number intensity 5 12 without signs (lymphocytic meningoradiculitis; Bannwarth's syndrome). The frequencies HLA-DR7 (75%), HLA-B44 (50%) HLA-A29 (33%) antigens different from 100 control subjects. Diagnostic criteria active are proposed.
