Abstract excerpt

To determine whether Lyme disease neuropathogenesis may result from infection by a particular segment of the locally extant population of spirochetes, genetic markers of spirochetes found in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 12 pediatric patients were compared with those in spirochetes from 40 vector...
