Suspected early Lyme neuroborreliosis in patients with erythema migrans.
BACKGROUND Our objective was to obtain data on patients with erythema migrans (EM) who have symptoms/signs suggesting nervous system involvement and to compare epidemiologic, clinical, and microbiologic findings in patients with and without cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis. METHODS Adult patients with EM and suspected early Lyme neuroborreliosis were included in this study. RESULTS Of ...
متن کاملMHC IIB Genetic Diversity and its Association With Humoral Immune Responses in Commercial Turkey
Background: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is one of the best characterized genetic regions controlling immune responses against vaccines. Identifying the association between MHC haplotypes and improved immune responses would be useful in genetic breeding strategies in animals. OBJECTIVES: MHC class II B genetic diversity and its association with humoral immune responses against Newcast...

متن کاملLyme neuroborreliosis and dementia.
INTRODUCTION Descriptions of Lyme disease and dementia are rare. OBJECTIVE To describe patients with dementia and a positive "intrathecal anti-Borrelia antibody index" (AI), specific for neuroborreliosis. METHODS Among 1,594 patients seen for dementia, we prospectively identified and studied 20 patients (1.25%) with dementia and a positive AI. Patients underwent a battery of neuropsychologi...
متن کاملCellular and humoral immune responses to Borrelia burgdorferi antigens in patients with culture-positive early Lyme disease.
We determined cellular and humoral immune responses to Borrelia burgdorferi lysate and to recombinant flagellin (FlaB), OspC, and OspA in acute- and convalescent-phase samples from 39 culture-positive patients with erythema migrans and in 20 healthy control subjects. During the acute illness, a median of 4 days after the onset of erythema migrans, 51% of the patients had proliferative cellular ...
