Abstract Lyme borreliosis is a multisystem disorder with a diverse spectrum of clinical manifestations, caused by spirochaetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. It is an infectious disease that can be successfully cured by antibiotic therapy in the early stages; however, the possibility of the appearance of persistent signs and symptoms of disease following antibiotic treatment is recognized. It is known that Lyme borreliosis mimics multiple diseases that were never proven to have a spirochaete aetiology.

Using complete modified Kelly-Pettenkofer medium we succeeded in cultivating live B. burgdorferi sensu lato spirochaetes from samples taken from people who suffered from undefined disorders, had symptoms not typical for Lyme borreliosis, but who had undergone antibiotic treatment due to a suspicion of having Lyme disease even though they were seronegative. We report the first recovery of live B. burgdorferi sensu stricto from residents of southeastern USA and the first successful cultivation of live Borrelia bissettii-like strain from residents of North America. Our results support the fact that B. bissettii is responsible for human Lymeborreliosis worldwide along with B. burgdorferi s.s. The involvement of new spirochaete species in Lyme borreliosis changes the understanding and recognition of clinical manifestations of this disease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=V5CGYBuRBX4&app=desktop

Abstract

Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SS) mediate interbacterial conjugative DNA transfer and transkingdom protein transfer into eukaryotic host cells in bacterial pathogenesis. The sole bacterium known to naturally transfer DNA into eukaryotic host cells via a T4SS is the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Here we demonstrate T4SS-mediated DNA transfer from a human bacterial pathogen into human cells. We show that the zoonotic pathogen Bartonella henselae can transfer a cryptic plasmid occurring in the bartonellae into the human endothelial cell line EA.hy926 via its T4SS VirB/VirD4. DNA transfer into EA.hy926 cells was demonstrated by using a reporter derivative of this Bartonella-specific mobilizable plasmid generated by insertion of a eukaryotic egfp-expression cassette. Fusion of the C-terminal secretion signal of the endogenous VirB/VirD4 protein substrate BepD with the plasmid-encoded DNA-transport protein Mob resulted in a 100-fold increased DNA transfer rate. Expression of the delivered egfp gene in EA.hy926 cells required cell division, suggesting that nuclear envelope breakdown may facilitate passive entry of the transferred ssDNA into the nucleus as prerequisite for complementary strand synthesis and transcription of the egfp gene. Addition of an eukaryotic neomycin phosphotransferase expression cassette to the reporter plasmid facilitated selection of stable transgenic EA.hy926 cell lines that display chromosomal integration of the transferred plasmid DNA. Our data suggest that T4SS-dependent DNA transfer into host cells may occur naturally during human infection with Bartonella and that these chronically infecting pathogens have potential for the engineering of in vivo gene-delivery vectors with applications in DNA vaccination and therapeutic gene therapy

Historic evidence to support a causal relationship between spirochetal infections and Alzheimer’s disease http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4399390/

The medical industry simply ignores this research. There is an unspoken principle in medicine. "Deny the existence of immunosuppression and chronic infection wherever they can get away with it." The drugs and extended medical care for Alzheimer patients generates tens of billions of dollars for the industry. Treating the cause could cure or dramatically improve this infectious disease. Spirochetal infections of the brain along with active viruses cause Alzheimer’s and Dementia. They include the Lyme spirochete, the Syphilis spirochete, and less often the Leptospira spirochete.

Other Information http://www.parkinsonsresource.org/…/lyme-disease-a-parkins…/ Parkinsons disease is caused by spirochete and viral infections. Did you know Michael J Fox has Lyme disease? He said so on The Letterman show about 20 years ago. Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease and many viruses are associated with Parkinsons disease. This study was in China. Unfortunately this will be ignored by the U.S. medical industry. Anyone with power or influence in the medical industry in the west does not want to reveal the cause of any disease if they can get away with it. Parkinsons disease patients generate billions of dollars in sales of medical products and services before they die. They won't give up that kind of money. The is a big part of it. They will ignore, reject, and lie if that is necessary to prevent studies like this from being accepted as valid in the west. 2015 Aug - The association between infectious burden and Parkinson's disease: A case- control study.

"METHODS: Antibody titers to common infectious pathogens including cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV)，herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi), Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) were measured by ELISA in serum of 131 PD patients and 141 normal controls. Infectious burden (IB) was defined as a composite serologic measure of exposure to these common pathogens.... CONCLUSIONS: IB(infectious burden) consisting of CMV, EBV, HSV-1, B. burgdorferi(Lyme disease), C. pneumoniae and H. pylori is associated with PD.

CRPS - Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: Formally known as (RSD - Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) and the Lyme Disease Connection http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12478332 Complex regional pain syndrome and Lyme borreliosis: two different diseases? Sibanc B, Lesnicar G. Source Dept. of Infectious Diseases and Febrile Conditions, General Hospital Celje, Oblakova 5, SI- 3000 Celje, Slovenia. [email protected] Abstract Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a frequent complication appearing as pain of unexplained pathogenesis. Its association with Lyme borreliosis (LB) is fairly rare. In the presented clinical case, clinical features as well as the findings of radiological, radionuclide, neurophysiological and serological investigations pointed to an association between the two conditions. The patient fulfilled the criteria for both diagnoses, i.e. CRPS and LB. The subsequent antibiotic therapy resulted in a complete remission of both clinical entities. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2095902 Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin. 1990 Jan;8(1):32-5. [Reflex sympathetic dystrophy. A new manifestation of Lyme disease?]. [Article in Spanish] Gila L, Guerrero A, Astarloa R, Martí P, Gutiérrez JM. Source Servico de Neurología, Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Madrid. Abstract Several syndromes derived from the involvement of central and peripheral nervous system and meninges have been reported in the infection by Borrelia burgdorferi. The features of autonomic nervous system involvement have received a marginal attention. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is an autonomic picture characterized by regional sympathetic hyperactivity which has not been associated with Lyme disease. We report a 16-year-old female with clinical, radiological and scintigraphic features consistent with reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The usual causes of this syndrome were ruled out and antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi were detected by immunofluorescence, enzyme immunoassay and Western blotting. Specific IgG and IgM levels had a progressive increase during three months. In Lyme borreliosis causes of false positives were excluded. Antigen-antibody bands were detected in increasing number during the evolution, using sonicates of B. burgdorferi and patient's sera with the Western blotting technique. Our data suggest that reflex sympathetic dystrophy is another type of nervous system involvement in the multifaceted Lyme borreliosis. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1145318-differential http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/125118 http://www.rsds.org/p…/deMosM_SturkenboomMCJM_HuygenFJPM.pdf Reflex sympathetic dystrophy with hidradenitis suppurativa exacerbation http://www.archives-pmr.org/…/S0003-9993(01)10804-X/abstract http://www.mdjunction.com/…/1457834-rsd-aka-crps-caused-by-… Jessica’s Journey http://hopeforjessica.blogspot.com/…/rsdlyme-connection.html

Spondylolisthesis Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of a vertebra, especially the fifth lumbar vertebra, most commonly occurring after a break or fracture. Backward displacement is referred to as retrolisthesis. • Isthmic spondylolisthesis is the most common form; also called spondylolytic spondylolisthesis, it occurs with a reported prevalence of 5–7 percent in the US population. A slip or fracture of the intravertebral joint is usually acquired between the ages of 6 and 16 years, but remains unnoticed until adulthood. Roughly 90 percent of these isthmic slips are low-grade (less than 50 percent slip) and 10 percent are high-grade (greater than 50 percent slip).[2] • Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a disease of the older adult that develops as a result of facet arthritis and joint remodeling. Joint arthritis, and ligamentum flavum weakness, may result in slippage of a vertebrae. Degenerative forms are more likely to occur in women, persons older than fifty, and African-Americans.[2] • Traumatic spondylolisthesis is rare and results from acute fractures in the neural arch, other than the pars.[3] • Pathologic spondylolisthesis has been associated with damage to the posterior elements[which?] from metastases or metabolic bone disease. These slips have been reported in cases of Paget's disease of bone, tuberculosis, giant-cell tumors, and tumor metastases.[citation needed] • Dysplastic spondylolisthesis is a rare congenital spondylolisthesis occurring because of a malformation of thelumbosacral junction resulting in small, incompetent facet joints.

Lyme disease presenting as Tourette's syndrome Michael Riedel, Andreas Straube, Markus J Schwarz, Betina Wilske, Norbert Müller The Lancet, Vol. 351, No. 9100, February 1998 Lyme borreliosis is often misdiagnosed, both in adults and children.1 Central-nervous-system manifestations of Lyme disease include neurological and psychiatric symptoms.2 Although abnormal movements have have been observed in Lyme disease,3 a Tourette's syndrome has not been reported. A boy at the age of 4 years developed a simple motor tic (blinking) that resolved within a year without treatment. At the age of 9 years, he developed multiple orofacial tics including shaking of the head, and several weeks later a vocal tic occurred. The tics became exacerbated under stress, as typically seen in Tourette's syndrome. Social disabilities such as loss of impulse control, social withdrawal, and worsened performance at school followed. He came to hospital 11 months after onset of symptoms. Serum IgM antibody titres against Borrelia burgdorferi measured by ELISA were not increased; although IgG antibody titres (ELISA) were increased at 58 U/mL (normal 10 U/mL) and 100 U/mL at another examination 2 weeks later. Immunofluorescence absorption test (IFT) was also increased (1:128 [normal 1:16]). IgG immunoblot4 was positive. All results indicated an infection with B burgdorferi. Examination of the cerebral spinal fluid showed a slight lymphocytic pleocytosis (16 cells per µL), which suggested an inflammatory reaction. The CSF:serum lgG ratio for IgG antibodies was 2.0, indicating intrathecal production of B burgdorferi-specific IgG antibodies, as occurs in neuroborreliosis.4 The boy was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone 2 g daily for 14 days. The tics improved after the sixth dose, and after the tenth dose the tics resolved completely. His social skills returned to normal. Follow-up examinations showed no reccurrence of tics or other neurological or psychiatric disorder. Serum IgG antibody titres and IFT tests against B burgdorferi were 11 U/mL and 1:32 after 1 year. Rapid efficacy of antibiotic treatment followed by a decrease in Borrelia-specific antibody titres suggests that the multiple motor and vocal tics were at least partially caused by the tertiary stage of borreliosis.5 Persistence of the tics and increasing severity of the social disabilities over several months suggest that the first signs of a Tourette-like syndrome 11 months previously were an expression of an early Lyme infection. Infection with B burgdorferi should be considered in cases of Tourette's syndrome in endemic areas. 1 Shapiro ED, Selzter EG. Lyme disease in children. Semin Neurol 1997; 17: 39- 44.[PubMed]
