Abstract
A 58-year-old woman in Belgium with a history of follicular lymphoma treated with rituximab sought care for a rapid sensory-motor deficit. Seronegative neuroborreliosis caused by Borrelia spielmanii was diagnosed, likely related to humoral deficiency. High CXC motif chemokine ligand 13 levels and PCR confirmed the diagnosis. Ceftriaxone treatment led to full recovery.
期刊介绍：
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
