Provides evidence-based recommendations on the treatment of nervous system Lyme disease and post-Lyme syndrome. Three questions were addressed: 1) Which antimicrobial agents are effective? 2) Are different regimens preferred for different manifestations of nervous system Lyme disease? 3) What duration of therapy is needed?

Key study: Validation of a Clinical Prediction Rule to Distinguish Lyme Meningitis From Aseptic Meningitis
Cohn KA,Thompson AD,Shah SS,Hines EM,Lyons TW,Welsh EJ,Nigrovic LE
Cohn KA,Thompson AD,Shah SS,Hines EM,Lyons TW,Welsh EJ,Nigrovic LE
Objective: The goal of this study was to test the performance of the Rule of 7's in a multicenter cohort of children with CSF pleocytosis.
Key study: Prospective Validation of a Clinical Prediction Model for Lyme Meningitis in Children
Garro AC,Rutman M,Simonsen K,Jaeger JL,Chapin K,Lockhart G
Garro AC,Rutman M,Simonsen K,Jaeger JL,Chapin K,Lockhart G
Objective: A clinical prediction model was developed to distinguish Lyme meningitis from other causes of aseptic meningitis. Our objective was to prospectively validate this model.
Key study: Lyme neuroborreliosis in children: a prospective study of clinical features, prognosis, and outcome
Skogman BH, Croner S, Nordwall M, Eknefelt M, Ernerudh J, Forsberg P
Skogman BH, Croner S, Nordwall M, Eknefelt M, Ernerudh J, Forsberg P
Objective: Evaluation of children with clinically suspected neuroborreliosis (NB) is difficult. With a prospective study design we wanted to characterize children with signs and symptoms indicative for NB, investigate clinical outcome and, if possible, identify factors of importance for recovery.
Key study: Prediction of Lyme Meningitis in Children From a Lyme DiseaseEndemic Region: A Logistic-Regression Model Using History, Physical, and Laboratory Findings
Avery RA, Frank G, Glutting JJ, Eppes SC
Avery RA, Frank G, Glutting JJ, Eppes SC
Objective: To create a statistical model to predict LM versus AM in children based on history, physical, and laboratory findings during the initial presentation of meningitis.
Key study: Characterization of Lyme Meningitis and Comparison With Viral Meningitis in Children
Eppes SC,Nelson DK,Lewis LL,Klein JD
Eppes SC,Nelson DK,Lewis LL,Klein JD
Objective: The objectives of this study were to characterize Lyme meningitis (LM) in the pediatric population; to compare LM with viral meningitis (VM) with respect to epidemiology, history and physical examination, and laboratory data; and to provide means of early distinction of Lyme neuroborreliosis from other forms of aseptic meningitis.
