This case report discusses a patient with co-occurring neuroborreliosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although no claim is made for causality nor is there objective evidence that spirochetes are involved in AD, co-infection may exacerbate the symptoms of either neuroborreliosis or AD. Much is to be learned about the role of spirochetes in degenerative central nervous system disease.
本病例报告讨论了一位同时患有神经型莱姆病和阿尔茨海默病（AD）的患者。尽管没有声称两者存在因果关系，也没有客观证据表明螺旋体与AD有关，但合并感染可能会加重神经型莱姆病或AD的症状。关于螺旋体在退行性中枢神经系统疾病中的作用，还有很多需要了解的地方。
