title: Cerebrospinal fluid findings in neurological manifestations of Lyme disease.
abstract: The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings in 21 patients with different manifestations of Lyme disease are presented. 15 patients exhibited CSF changes including a lymphoplasmocytic pleocytosis and a CSF protein profile indicating a barrier leakage combined with an intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis. Six patients-mainly suffering from cranial neuritis-had a normal CSF.
