(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Purpose Many consider white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) to be important imaging findings in neuroborreliosis. However, evidence regarding association with WMHs is of low quality. The objective was to investigate WMHs ...
    • Assessment of cognitive function, structural brain changes and fatigue 6 months after treatment of neuroborreliosis 

      Andreassen, Silje; Lindland, Elisabeth Margrete Stokke; Beyer, Mona K.; Solheim, Anne Marit; Ljøstad, Unn; Mygland, Åse Daasvand; Lorentzen, Åslaug Rudjord; Reiso, Harald; Bjuland, Knut Jørgen; Pripp, Are Hugo; Harbo, Hanne-Cathrin Flinstad; Løhaugen, Gro; Eikeland, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)

    • Cognitive function in patients with neuroborreliosis: A prospective cohort study from the acute phase to 12 months post treatment 

      Andreassen, Silje; Solheim, Anne Marit; Ljøstad, Unn; Mygland, Åse Daasvand; Lorentzen, Åslaug Rudjord; Reiso, Harald; Beyer, Mona Kristiansen; Harbo, Hanne-Cathrin Flinstad; Løhaugen, Gro; Eikeland, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Long-term cognitive problems after neuroborreliosis treatment remain a subject of debate. We have previously shown that cognitive problems are not present in the acute phase of neuroborreliosis, although fatigue ...
    • Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI shows altered blood–brain barrier function of deep gray matter structures in neuroborreliosis: a case–control study 

      Lindland, Elisabeth Margrete Stokke; Solheim, Anne Marit; Andreassen, Silje; Bugge, Robin Antony Birkeland; Eikeland, Randi; Reiso, Harald; Lorentzen, Åslaug Rudjord; Harbo, Hanne-Cathrin Flinstad; Beyer, Mona Kristiansen; Bjørnerud, Atle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background Main aim was assessment of regional blood–brain barrier (BBB) function by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with neuroborreliosis. Secondary aim was to study the correlation ...
    • Imaging in Lyme neuroborreliosis 

      Lindland, Elisabeth Margrete Stokke; Solheim, Anne Marit; Andreassen, Silje; Paulsen, Else Quist; Eikeland, Randi; Ljøstad, Unn; Mygland, Åse; Elsais, Ahmed; Nygaard, Gro Owren; Lorentzen, Åslaug Rudjord; Harbo, Hanne Flinstad; Beyer, Mona K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10)
      Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a tick-borne spirochetal infection with a broad spectrum of imaging pathology. For individuals who live in or have travelled to areas where ticks reside, LNB should be considered among ...
