Lyme disease is an endemic zoonosis in temperate regions
of the northern hemisphere, such as the European
continent. It is a multisystemic disease with cutaneous, articular, cardiac, and neurological manifestations that vary according to its stage. The nervous system’s involvement is
called neuroborreliosis and can be classified as an early or
late disease, according to its progression.
A classic triad of lymphocytic meningitis, cranial neuropathy, and painful radiculoneuritis characterizes early neuroborreliosis. We present a case of neuroborreliosis in a man with chronic alcohol use disorder who was diagnosed with metabolic encephalopathy. We discuss the importance of broadening the differential diagnosis and the diagnostic criteria and managing an extremely heterogeneous disease
such as Lyme disease, particularly in its neurological involvement.
