ABSTRACT

The infection for Borrelia burgdorferi is a zoonosis, in which the spirochaetes can be transmitted to human beings only by the bite of infected ixodid ticks, the spirochaete is maintained at high levels in populations of field mice or birds, the likelihood of having it is dependent on geography, recreational habits of the patient, and season. It is a multisistemic disease it can affect central nervous system. Neurological manifestations often referred to as Lyme neuroborreliosis are reported in up to 12% of patients with Lyme disease. In Europe and the United States seroprevalencia is 1 to 27%. This has not been determined in Mexico yet. The most common of them are painful meningoradiculitis (Bannwarth syndrome) and lymphocytic meningitis. Other neurological manifestations infrequently are cranial neuritis, plexus neuritis and mononeuritis multiplex. In Mexico are few reports and series of cases published about Lyme neuroborreliosis, being a subdiagnosed disease in patients with neurological clinical manifestations.
