Neuroborreliosis frequently occurs in endemic areas, whereas
encephalomyelitis is uncommon. Treatment consists classically of 2 to 4
weeks of recommended antimicrobial agents with a generally good
outcome. A severe case is reported combining an encephalomyelitis with
an axonal polyneuropathy. Clinical improvement was observed only with
the use of prolonged high dose of 2 antimicrobial agents combined with
steroids.

I have written the author to see if I can get more info on this one. I
wonder how long the therapy lasted.
