Abstract

In the first part of this review, a summarized description of the typical clinical manifestation as well as less frequent symptoms of early (acute) Lyme Neuroborreliosis (LNB) are presented. In the second part, insights into the controversial topic of "Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome" are given and the quite rare, but clearly defined picture of late (chronic) LNB is described.

Keywords: Clinical picture; Early Lyme Borreliosis; Late Lyme Borreliosis; Lyme neuroborreliosis.
