ABSTRACT
Introduction and Objective. Manifestations of infection caused by Borrelia miyamotoi can mimic highly variable symptoms
of Lyme borreliosis. The aim of the study was to detect DNA from B. miyamotoi samples from patients with suspected
neuroborreliosis.
Materials and Method. Samples of blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were collected from 133 patients. Diagnosis
was established by the detection of specific antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) with ELISA and immunoblot.
All Borrelia-positive samples were tested by nested PCR for the B. miyamotoi and B. burgdorferi s.l. DNA.
Results. B. miyamotoi DNA was detected in the CSF of one (0.8%) patient. DNA of B. burgdorferi s.l. was not found in any
samples.
Conclusions. Detection of the B. miyamotoi in patients with central nervous system infections expand the development
of knowledge on infections caused by Borrelia spirochetes.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The research was supported by funds from the NIPH -NIH- NRI (12/EM/2017–2018).
