Spirochetal organisms were sought in 18 skin and 4 synovial membrane specimens obtained by biopsy from 22 Lyme disease patients. The presence of spirochetes in body tissues was histologically demonstrated in one patient with lymphadenosis benigna cutis, one patient with acrodermatitis chronica atrop

In 27 patients with early Lyme disease, the mean response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to Lyme spirochetal Borrelia burgdorferi antigens (723 counts per minute) was similar to that of control subjects. During convalescence, 2-3 weeks later, the patients' mean response was significant
We report a patient who developed a chronic sensory-motor polyneuropathy and a progressive myelopathy 4 years after a tick bite. An increased serum antibody titer to Borrelia burgdorferi suggested a diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis, although a concomitant cervical spondylosis probably contributed
