Lyme neuroborreliosis: Progressive cerebral vasculitis responsive to cyclophosphamide. A case report and review of the literature
Less than 1 % of patients with Lyme Neuroborreliosis (LNB) present with a cerebrovascular event. Ischaemic strokes occur more commonly than parenchymal or subarachnoid haemorrhages. If cerebral vasculitis due to LNB is suspected, antibiotic treatment should be started immediately, which will normally lead to remission. Very rarely progression and recurrent strokes are observed despite sufficient antibiotic therapy, even if steroids are added. Currently there are no guidelines on the adequate treatment of cerebral vasculitis due to LNB which is not responsive to antibiotics and steroids, but in very few reported cases cyclo...
