Abstract: We describe a patient with a history of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation complicated by chronic graft-versus-host disease who developed painful meningo-radiculitis and myositis due to Lyme borreliosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an infection occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
