Dr. Fallon said that up to 40 percent of patients with Lyme disease developed some involvement of the nervous system affecting either the extremities or the central nervous system. He told of a 47-year-old man who experienced depression and memory problems as his main signs of Lyme disease, symptoms that responded well to intravenous antibiotics. The symptoms recurred five months later, but he was not treated a second time. He developed a type of dementia that required hospitalization and died a few years later. An autopsy found Lyme spirochetes in a degenerated part of his brain.
