Characteristics and Clinical Outcome of Lyme Neuroborreliosis in a High Endemic Area, 1995–2014: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Denmark

Abstract

The association between treatment delay and residual symptoms and the lack of improvement in treatment delay during the study period highlight the need for standardized diagnostic routines and a better follow-up for LNB patients. Our findings disprove that all patients with LNB develop positive serum Borrelia antibodies within 6 weeks after infection.
