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.
