Brief description/objective

Borreliosis has been widely recognized in Switzerland and is often used in unclear cases with non-specific symptoms. Two illustrative cases should emphasize the current options for diagnosis and therapy of neuroborreliosis. The keystones of the diagnostic instruments are a history with typical symptoms and analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid with determination of appropriate antibodies. Therapy deals with ceftriaxon with intravenous and doxycyclin with oral application making ambulatory treatment possible.
