PIEDRAHITA, Antonio Schlesinger et al. Chronic Lyme syndrome with neurological manifestations: A case report. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.3, pp.195-198. ISSN 0120-8748.  https://doi.org/10.22379/24224022212.

Chronic Lyme syndrome represents a controversial term that groups together a set of persistent and nonspecific symptoms, mostly rheumatological and / or neurological, among which is the Post Lyme Disease, whose epidemiological incidence is low, pathophysiology is controversial and the diagnostic approach is based especially on clinical interpretation, directing its therapeutic approach towards symptomatic resolution. We present a case of a female patient of 17 years of age with Lyme disease of recent diagnosis of apparent evolution of 3 years, with previous diagnosis of demyelinating disease, who consulted for neurological deterioration. Scientific considerations on its clinical approach and therapeutic principles are reviewed, contrasting them with those applied.
