Lyme neuroborreliosis epidemiology in Sweden 2010 to 2014: clinical microbiology laboratories are a better data source than the hospital discharge diagnosis register.

In 2018, the European Commission included Lyme neuroborreliosis on the list of diseases under epidemiological surveillance. PMID: 31115310 [PubMed - in process]
