Successful antibiotic treatment of Borreliosis associated pseudolymphomatous systemic infiltrates.
The clinical management of late stage Borreliosis can be difficult due to various associated symptoms and signs and cumbersome microbiological tests. We report a case of successful antibiotic treatment of Borreliosis-associated pseudolymphomatous infiltrates in bone marrow and lymph nodes, which were diagnosed by bone marrow trephine biopsy and positron emission tomography.
