This study looks at a very unique substance to detect brain infection by Lyme. The CDC reported that 100% of untreated Lyme patients have this fat-loving drilling infection in their brain in 14 days.
On my blog we list 32 single-spaced top journal articles on Lyme’s neurology and psychiatry effects. link here: https://www.personalconsult.com/the-impact-of-lyme-disease-on-the-brain-and-nervous-system/
These researchers look at studies on cerebrospinal fluid and plasma/serum biomarker neurofilament light chain (NfL) concentrations, a key structural component of myelinated axons [your long rope part of neurons surrounded by fatty myelin that creates speed and vastly better function that low fat myelin axon]… in neuroinfections.
Summary after extensive study examinations: [the light chain neurofilaments] NfL can serve as…
a valuable biomarker for assessing disease severity and neurological complications in the acute stage of neuroinfections…
and can also be useful in evaluating patients with residual symptoms following acute illness.
