Tick bite meningoradiculitis. Ten cases. 1987

M Lubeau, and J M Vallat, and J Hugon, and M Dumas, and R Desproges-Gotteron

A study was undertaken on 10 cases of meningoradiculitis following a tick bite. All patients developed neurologic manifestations and C.S.F. abnormalities. Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated decreased motor potential amplitude and normal motor conduction velocity suggesting distal axonal involvement. Radicular lesions were suspected due to the presence of delayed F waves. This is the first study to confirm these electrical findings by histologic examination of the superficial peroneal nerve of the leg during the course of thick meningoradiculitis.

D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome.
