Neuroborreliosis recurrence: reinfection or relapse?
We report the case of a 47-y-old female with documented neuroborreliosis, who had a complete recovery after 10 d of intravenous high-dose penicillin followed after 9 months by a new episode of documented neuroborreliosis. The case probably represents a rare case of true reinfection rather than relapse.
