lüll Lyme neuroborreliosis: manifestations of a rapidly emerging zoonosis Hildenbrand P; Craven DE; Jones R; Nemeskal PAJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2009[Jun]; 30 (6): 1079-87Lyme disease has a worldwide distribution and is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Incidence, clinical manifestations, and presentations vary by geography, season, and recreational habits. Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is neurologic involvement secondary to systemic infection by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi in the United States and by Borrelia garinii or Borrelia afzelii species in Europe. Enhanced awareness of the clinical presentation of Lyme disease allows inclusion of LNB in the imaging differential diagnosis of facial neuritis, multiple enhancing cranial nerves, enhancing noncompressive radiculitis, and pediatric leptomeningitis with white matter hyperintensities on MR imaging. The MR imaging white matter appearance of successfully treated LNB and multiple sclerosis display sufficient similarity to suggest a common autoimmune pathogenesis for both. This review highlights differences in the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of Lyme disease in the United States, Europe, and Asia, with an emphasis on neurologic manifestations and neuroimaging.|Animals[MESH]|Communicable Diseases, Emerging/*diagnosis[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Image Enhancement/*methods[MESH]|Lyme Neuroborreliosis/*diagnosis[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Imaging/*methods[MESH]|Zoonoses[MESH] |
