SUBACUTE CEREBELLITIS IN LYME-DISEASE

Cerebellitis is not a recognised manifestation of Lyme disease. We des cribe a patient with clinical features of subacute cerebellitis, cereb rospinal fluid (CSF) monocytic pleocytosis, positive CSF Borrelia burg dorferi antibodies, negative brain magnetic resonance imaging and a be nign course after treatment with ceftriaxone. Possible earlier cases a re discussed, Lyme disease should be considered in all cases of subacu te cerebellitis.
