Frequency of individual signs and symptoms at study enrollment among patients with LNB treated in Ljubljana, Slovenia, during 2006–2013. Patients were stratified into 3 groups: meningoradiculoneuritis, PFP/meningitis without radicular pain, or patients with suspected LNB who had EM and signs and symptoms suggestive of LNB but did not meet the standard diagnostic criteria. *Meningoradiculoneuritis vs. PFP/meningitis, p<0.05; †meningoradiculoneuritis vs. suspected LNB, p<0.005. LNB, Lyme neuroborreliosis; PFP, peripheral facial palsy.
