Polyneuropathy in late Lyme borreliosis - a clinical, neurophysiological and morphological description.
In a prospective study, detailed clinical and neurophysiological examinations were performed in 17 patients with polyneuropathy associated with the late borrelial manifestation acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA). Similar clinical and neurophysiological signs were found in most of the patients. ⋯ Sural nerve biopsy, performed in 3 of the patients, showed a mainly axonal neuropathy. Biopsy findings did not confirm earlier reports of vasculitis of epineural vessels in ACA-associated polyneuropathy.
