Neuroborreliosis

Abstract

Lyme disease, that's causative agent Borrelia burgdorferi, is an arthropod-borne disease. This disease is among the “great imitator” infec-tious diseases like tuberculosis, brucellosis and syphilis, due to it's multisystem clinical involvement. The presence of multiple neurological signs during the disease has led the entity named as “neuroborreliosis”. The immunological response against the spirochete and direct dam-age of the agent determines the clinical manifestations of the disease. The agent may be responsible for many different neurological diagno-sis as meningitis, cranial neuritis, facial paralysis, chronic encephalomiyelitis, spastic paraparesis, and even mental changes. Early diagnosis and treatment prevents the persistence of the bacteria as well as the progression of the disease. Because of the presence of the tick vector species in our country, the neuroborreliosis should be included in our differential diagnosis.
