[Erythema chronicum migrans with Bannwarth syndrome (Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth meningopolyneuritis)]. 1984

H Kutzner, and H H Wolff, and D Kömpf

A 54-year-old male had erythema chronicum migrans (ECM), lymphocytic meningitis, and intense pain radiating along the distribution of the corresponding dermatomal segments. Neurologic involvement, described as Bannwarth syndrome or meningopolyneuritis Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth, is a typical late manifestation of ECM infection and requires high-dose intravenous penicillin therapy.

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.

D011115	Polyneuropathies	Diseases of multiple peripheral nerves simultaneously. Polyneuropathies usually are characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. The pathological processes affecting peripheral nerves include degeneration of the axon, myelin or both. The various forms of polyneuropathy are categorized by the type of nerve affected (e.g., sensory, motor, or autonomic), by the distribution of nerve injury (e.g., distal vs. proximal), by nerve component primarily affected (e.g., demyelinating vs. axonal), by etiology, or by pattern of inheritance.
