Abstract

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. Although 15 % of untreated cases develop neurological signs and symptoms but where occurs, it can be life-threatening or at least incapacitating. Here we report a rare case of Lyme lymphocytic meningoradiculitis in a patient with no travel history to Europe. It is important for practitioners in neurology and infectious diseases to be familiar with the protean clinical manifestations of Lyme disease. Our case also harbors important laboratory test utilization note.

Keywords: Lyme; Meningoradiculitis; Neuroborreliosis.
