Linda’s comment: The first Swiss patient with meningovasculitis due to neuroborreliosis, with recurrent multiple ischemic strokes in multiple vascular territories is evident in clinical manifestation of borreliosis. Strokes have also been found with patients with Bartonella.
Excerpt:
The
treatment with ceftriaxone stopped the progression, but the
patient is still suffering from severe invalidating cognitive
disorders. We also comment on the pathophysiology and review the
literature of other clinical cases. Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier
