Lyme disease is an infective disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted
by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus. The disease usually has three stages whereas
the last, because of domination of neurologic symptomatology is called
"neuroborreliosis". This is a case report of a female patient with
neuroborreliosis in whom, due to lack of symptoms and signs which characterize
the first stage of Lyme disease as well as lack of evidence about the tick,
nobody assumed such an etiology. Lyme disease was not confirmed by serologic
evaluation until the third stage of the disease occurred. This case points to
the conclusion that by differential diagnosis of meningeal syndrome accompanied
by maintenance and progredience of neurologic deficit and disorders in mental
sphere one should think of the Lyme disease.
