Was it authentic Lyme disease or some other disorder?

Pathog Dis. 2017 Apr 1;75(3). doi: 10.1093/femspd/ftx028.

Abstract

We compared the evidence presented recently that challenges the long-standing belief that, in 1922, two French physicians reported the first case of neurological Lyme disease with a further analysis of the original findings that were translated and re-published in 1993. Alternative possibilities are offered that could explain these discrepant interpretations on what was considered to be a landmark clinical case of historical significance.

Keywords: Borrelia burgdorferi; Lyme disease; STARI; neuro Lyme.
