Abstract

Borrelia miyamotoi is a newly recognized human pathogen in the relapsing fever group of spirochetes.We investigated a case of B. miyamotoi infection of the central nervous system resembling B. burgdorferi-induced Lyme neuroborreliosis and determined that this emergent agent of central nervous system infection can be diagnosed with existing methods.
