Lyme borreliosis and multiple sclerosis

Biomed Pharmacother. 1989;43(6):415-9. doi: 10.1016/0753-3322(89)90239-4.

Abstract

There is now general consensus that tertiary Lyme borreliosis affecting the central nervous system does exist. Clinical, neuropathologic, laboratory and epidemiologic features indicate clearly that tertiary Lyme borreliosis of the CNS is a distinct entity and there is no etiologic association with multiple sclerosis.
