Description
Summary:[...]we think that only one of the three patients had neuroborreliosis. In the other two patients there was no pleiocytosis or raised protein content in the CSF, a finding that is considered to be a necessity for the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis. 3-5 Also, antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi were not detected. Besides this, no evidence exists that in the one patient with neuroborreliosis and subarachnoid haemorrhage there is a causal relation with the aneurysm.
