Interaction of a neurotropic strain of Borrelia turicatae with the cerebral microcirculation system. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 2006 ABSTRACTRelapsing fever (RF) is a spirochetal infection characterized by relapses of a febrile illness and spirochetemia due to the sequential appearance and disappearance of isogenic serotypes in the blood. The only difference between isogenic serotypes is the variable major outer membrane lipoprotein.
