Relapsing fever/Lyme disease. Multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Lyme Disease and Relapsing Fever caused by Borrelia burdorferi and Borrelia hermsii, respectively, have been generally considered curable if diagnosed early. However, it is becoming apparent that when these diseases are left undiagnosed and untreated they may cause severe problems for some people. They, in fact, may be one of the major causes of Multiple Sclerosis. These two Borrelia infections, when left untreated, are now known to be capable of causing neurological problems, cardiac problems, relapses as much as ten years later, increased IgG/albumin ratio and increased lymphocytes. These same things hold true for Multiple Sclerosis patients. This paper discusses the Borrelia spirochetes which cause Lyme Disease and Relapsing Fever and what correlation that may have with Multiple Sclerosis.
