We have to somehow get these hospitals trained to recognize Lyme Neuroborreliosis….it can kill and go undiagnosed…..This case history is quiet disturbing…

Excerpt:
We report a case of neuroborreliosis with severe bilateral recurrent nerve
palsy, which had to be treated at an intensive care unit because of acute
respiratory distress.Case history
A 66-year-old woman was transferred to our facility from a local hospital.
Her only remarkable prior condition was diabetes mellitus, for which she was
on oral medication. She did not recall a tick bite or any skin changes
during the last months.
