Neuroborreliosis in children: Focus on ischemic stroke—a case report and literature review

Klinische Pädiatrie

Abstract

Abstract Lyme borreliosis—the most prevalent tick-borne disease in the United States, Canada and Europe—is a systemic infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi that can spread to the nervous system, where it may manifest as neuroborreliosis with potentially severe complications. Despite a worldwide and increasing prevalence, data on central nervous system complications in children with neuroborreliosis are limited.
