Abstract

Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is the second most common manifestation of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s. l.) infection in Europe. LNB is difficult to differentiate from other aetiologies of aseptic meningitis. Diagnostic criteria for LNB in children are not established. Therfore, based on the epidemiology of LNB in children from Tyrol, the aim of our study was to point out the necessity of a clear definition of pediatric LNB to avoid underdiagnosis and overtreatment.
