The aim of the study was to determine cytokine and chemokine concentrations in sera and CSF of adult patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis and to compare concentrations with patients with possible Lyme neuroborreliosis and tick-borne encephalites. Chemokine CXCL13 was found to be uniquely elevated in cerebrospinal fluid of LNB patients and may be a useful early indicator of Lyme neuroborreliosis.
