Neuroborreliosis usually presents with facial palsy and meningitis, but unspecific symptoms may also occur and can result in delayed diagnosis. We report on 3 children in whom persistent vomiting was the key clinical finding of neuroborreliosis.
OBJECTIVE
To understand the clinical characteristics of Lyme disease in children.
METHODS
Case records of 30 children with Lyme disease who were admitted to the pediatric department of Forest Hospital, Inner Mongolia from May 1995 to Oct. 2000, were reviewed. Twenty-one cases were male and 9 were
BACKGROUND
Relapsing fever spirochetes are global yet neglected pathogens causing recurrent febrile episodes, chills, nausea, vomiting, and pregnancy complications. Given these nonspecific clinical manifestations, improving diagnostic assays for relapsing fever spirochetes will allow for
Lyme disease is most prevalent in the northeast and upper Midwest regions of the United States. While early symptoms may be mild (eg, rash, flu-like symptoms, joint pain), late or persistent infection can cause chronic neurologic impairments. Because of this range of symptoms, physicians can have
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in Poland. Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete can occur in the whole country, which, according to ECDC, should be considered as an endemic area. Borrelia strains are transmitted to humans and certain other animals by Ixodes (1). Human infection is
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological characteristics of relapsing Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis (ITB) caused by Borrelia miyamotoi.
METHODS
Retrospective clinical observation was made in 79 inpatients of the Republican Infectious Diseases Hospital (Udmurt Republic), who
BACKGROUND Tick-borne relapsing fever is a disease that is caused by infection with a Borrelia bacterium, and is transmitted by ticks. This infectious disease is characterised by relapsing episodes of high fever, often accompanied by aspecific symptoms. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe the history of a
Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by a spirochete of the Borrelia sensu lato group. Its incidence has greatly increased in recent years. The main vector is a tick of the Ixodes family. Clinical manifestations are multiple and show the multi-organ character of the disease. In terms of
To evaluate the frequency, pattern, and severity of liver function test abnormalities in patients with Lyme disease associated with erythema migrans (EM), 115 individuals with no other identifiable cause for liver function test abnormalities who presented with EM between July 1990 and September 1993
Increased intracranial pressure in patients with Lyme disease is an uncommon but reported finding. We discuss 2 patients from Lyme endemic areas who initially presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting and were eventually found to have increased intracranial pressure, a mild cerebrospinal fluid
BACKGROUND
It is unclear whether antimicrobial treatment after an Ixodes scapularis tick bite will prevent Lyme disease.
METHODS
In an area of New York where Lyme disease is hyperendemic we conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of treatment with a single 200-mg dose of
Lyme neuroborreliosis (NB) is a tick-borne infectious disorder of the nervous system caused by Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes. There are not many data available regarding the differences in the course of NB in children and adults. The aim of our study was to compare the clinical
Described in 1962, the opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare, neurologically debilitating disorder with distinct characteristics that may begin in childhood or adult life. Although many cases remain without etiological diagnosis, others are related to neoplasms and infectious
Neuropathy is a broad term that describes a lack of sensorium, movement, or autonomic function and feedback in a particular area. This can be a centralized neuropathy due to paralysis of extremities via distribution of neurotomes, or a peripheralized neuropathy. Most commonly seen in the extremities
A 6-week-old male infant presented with 2 days of fever, emesis, and diarrhea, associated with episodic and chaotic rapid eye movements, determined to be opsoclonus. An electroencephalogram (EEG) obtained during the events was normal. He was treated empirically for meningitis, and an initial workup
