Anti-lysoganglioside and other anti-neuronal autoantibodies in post-treatment Lyme Disease and Erythema Migrans after repeat infection

This study examines molecular mimicry targeting neural tissue after Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) infection. Patients with Lyme disease have a greater frequency of specific anti-neuronal autoantibodies and functional neuronal activation compared to community controls without a history of Lyme disease.

Traditionally, mice haven’t shown neuroborreliosis, mirroring human symptoms, but this study achieved colonization of the central nervous system in mice. Using two strains of B. burgdorferi, researchers infected mice through the skin, consistently detecting spirochetes in the brain membranes 75 days post-infection. Live spirochetes were present, adhering to blood vessels, indicating long-term infection. The presence of CD3+ T cells suggested an immune response. These findings provide new avenues for studying neuroborreliosis and may offer insights into potential treatments for patients.
