Lymphocytic meningoradiculitis of Bannwarth is often associated with a tick bite and erythema chronicum migrans, and therefore may be a European counterpart of Lyme disease in North America. Of nine patients with lymphocytic meningoradiculitis studied at the Neurologic Clinic in Lund, Sweden, six were found to have elevated antibody titers to the Lyme spirochete. These studies support the conclusion that the two diseases are related and may be overlapping sectors of a larger clinical spectrum caused by one infectious agent.
班恩沃思淋巴细胞性脑膜神经根炎常与蜱叮咬及慢性游走性红斑相关，因此可能是北美莱姆病在欧洲的对应病症。在瑞典隆德神经科诊所研究的9例淋巴细胞性脑膜神经根炎患者中，有6例被发现针对莱姆螺旋体的抗体滴度升高。这些研究支持了这两种疾病相关且可能是由一种传染源引起的更大临床谱中的重叠部分这一结论。
