“…This skin lesion has been reported to precede or sometimes accompany meningopolyneuritis in 34-64% of patients [148][149][150][151] , and has been found in 18 of 33 (55%) patients with B. garinii or B. afzelii isolated from CSF [136] . Close topical association between the cutaneous region involved by the EM (and thus by the tick bite) and the initial radicular lesion has been established in European patients [148,[151][152][153][154][155][156] , in contrast to American patients in whom no such association was found [146,157] .…”

Lyme borrelosis is a multi-systemic disease caused byBorrelia burgdorferisensu lato. A complete presentation of the disease is an extremely unusual oberservation, in which a skin lesion follows a tick bite, the lesion itself is followed by heart and nervous system involvement, and later on by arthritis; late involvement of the eye, nervous system, joints and skin may also occur. Information on the relative frequency of individual clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis is limited; however, the skin is most frequently involved and skin manifestations frequently represent clues for the diagnosis. The only sign that enables a reliable clinical diagnoisis of Lyme borreliosis is a typical erythema migrans. Laboratory confirmation of a borrelial infection is needed for all manifestations of Lyme borreliosis, with the exception of typical skin lesions.

Cytological changes in 9 samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 5 patients with zoster meningitis and 12 samples from 5 patients with radiculomeningitis after tick bite were examined. 5 days after the onset of the skin eruption, the CSF cells in zoster meningitis consisted of many mononuclear blast forms – large lymphocytes and ‘immature’ plasma cells. 11–15 days after the onset of the skin rash, they were replaced by small lymphocytes, some ‘mature’ plasma cells and monohistiocytes. In radiculomeningitis after tick bite, however, the CSF cells examined 10–21 days after the onset of radicular pain consisted of many large lymphocytes, immature plasma cells and a few neutrophils. From these findings, it might be suggested that the acute meningeal reaction of zoster meningitis subsides within about 1 week after the onset of the skin rash, but that of radiculomeningitis after tick bite continues at least for 2–3 weeks after the onset of radicular pain.

“…Infection with B. burgdorferi occurs when a tick bite punctures the skin. There is a connection between the site of inoculation of B. burgdorferi-that is, the place where the tick bite takes place-and the initial symptoms of neuroborreliosis in most patients (21,168,265). The best opportunity to isolate and culture the bacterium is in skin biopsy specimens from patients with erythema migrans (1 1).…”
