Abstract

Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete B. burgdorferi, and patients often present with symptoms comparable to a viral-like illness. The diagnosis can be challenging given its wide range of manifestations and diagnostic testing can take days or longer. Here, we present a case of Lyme disease presenting as brachial plexopathy and meningitis.
