Bannwarth syndrome in early disseminated Lyme disease

Man with Bannwarth syndrome and lyme disease huntched over and holding his lower back.

Welcome to another Inside Lyme Podcast with your host Dr. Daniel Cameron. In this episode, Dr. Cameron will be discussing the case of a 66-year-old man with Bannwarth syndrome with urinary retention in early Lyme disease.

By

Omotosho and colleagues described this case in an article entitled “A Unique Case of Bannwarth Syndrome in Early Disseminated Lyme Disease.”¹

The man presented to the emergency room with generalized myalgia, fatigue, and severe neck pain. The symptoms had been occurring for two weeks and began shortly after he was bitten by two ticks while performing yard work.

The patient reported having dull mid-back pain, intermittent headaches, and neck stiffness. His doctor initially suspected he had pneumonia and prescribed an antibiotic. But his symptoms worsened.

“His pain then radiated down his entire spine into his upper and lower extremities, leading to right arm weakness and new urine retention onset,” the authors wrote.

“His paraspinal tenderness and diminished deep tendon reflexes bilaterally.” His pain score was 8 out of 10. The ESR rate was 100 and C-reactive protein of 8.8 mg/L.

“Physicians need to be aware of the rare neurological manifestations of [Lyme neuroborreliosis] … Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can reduce unnecessary imaging, patient anxiety, and, most importantly, avert debilitating complications.”

Test results indicated a white blood cell count of 12 k/uL, C-reactive protein of 8.8 mg/L, sedimentation rate of 100 mm/h, and creatinine kinase of 27 units/L.

Western blot and ELISA Lyme disease tests were positive and confirmed an early stage infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. In addition, a spinal tap showed lymphocytic pleocytosis and a positive Lyme disease titer.

The man was diagnosed with Bannwarth syndrome (BWS) based on his severe radiculopathy, upper extremity weakness, and urinary dysfunction. “All of these findings are pathognomonic for [Bannwarth syndrome],” wrote the authors.

Typically, Bannwarth syndrome affects a person’s limbs. In this case, Lyme disease induced sacral radiculitis leading to neurogenic urinary dysfunction.

The authors were not sure why the patient’s urinary tract was affected. They suggested, “the influence of the radiculitis on innervating fibers” and “direct invasion of the spirochetes into the bladder wall” might have played a role.

“Early recognition of this rare presentation associated with Lyme disease and treatment with antibiotics can prevent disease progression and detrimental neurological sequelae.”

The man was treated with a 21-day course of IV ceftriaxone and “his symptoms improved with complete resolution of his urinary retention,” the authors wrote.

About Bannwarth syndrome

Bannwarth syndrome has been reported most often in Europe. And despite disputes over its incidence in the United States, “the condition does occur but is often misdiagnosed.”

BWS is characterized by a wide range of symptoms including:

  • radicular pain (100%)
  • sleep disturbances (75.3%)
  • headache (46.8%)
  • fatigue (44.2%)
  • malaise (39%)
  • paresthesia (32.5%)
  • peripheral nerve palsy (36.4%)
  • meningeal signs (19.5%)
  • paresis (7.8%)

The syndrome can cause severe pain. “BWS typically manifests itself with severe zoster-like segmental pain that is worse at night,” the authors wrote. “The pain has a burning, stabbing, biting, or tearing character and usually responds poorly to all common analgesics.”

Author’s Conclusion:

“The constellation of neurological symptoms, particularly when associated with a recent or suspected tick bite in an endemic region, should prompt thorough evaluation for [Lyme neuroborreliosis] and assessment for BWS,” the authors wrote.

The following questions are addressed in this Podcast episode:

  1. What is Bannwarth syndrome?
  2. How is BWS diagnosed and treated?
  3. What is radicular pain?
  4. What is the significance of the spinal tap findings?
  5. What is the significance of an elevated sedimentation rate and c-reactive protein?
  6. Why is BWS rarely diagnosed in the USA?
  7. What can we learn from this case?

Science (Again) Says Natural Immunity is Best, Majority of COVID Deaths have Comorbidities, & Testing Will Not Save Us

**UPDATE**

https://kdvr.com/news/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine/cdc-report-natural-immunity-stronger-than-vaccines-alone-during-delta-wave/

CDC: Natural immunity stronger than vaccines alone during delta wave

by:

Updated:

DENVER (KDVR) — Natural immunity was six times stronger during the delta wave than vaccination, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The report, published Jan. 19, analyzed COVID outcome data from New York and California, which make up about one in six of the nation’s total COVID deaths. (See link for article)

What the article doesn’t mention are the overwhelming amount of adverse reactions and deaths recorded in VAERS after the COVID shots.

https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/science-says-natural-immunity-following

Science Says… Natural Immunity Following Severe COVID-19 is Superior

Survivors of Severe COVID-19 Take Heart. More data needed on Mild Cases Due to Likelihood of PCR False Positives.
“We found that NAb against the WT virus persisted in 89% and S-IgG in 97% of subjects for at least 13 months after infection.”
As measured by neutralizing antibody assays, immunity to SARS-CoV-2 from vaccination wanes after 3-4 months.

This study in the European Journal of Immunology has some good news: Survivors of severe COVID-19 from had very high immunity against Delta 13 months after their initial infection with earlier variants.

The study was conducted on 2586 subjects ≥18 years of age whose native language was Finnish or Swedish who lived within five selected hospital districts in Finland and with a “PCR-confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis”.

The authors examined neutralizing antibody levels (Nab) against Wild-Type (Wuhan), Alpha, Beta and Delta proteins, studying both the Spike glycoprotein (S-protein)) and the viral nucleoprotein (N-protein)) at 8 and 13 months following infection.

The Spike protein Nab measured as antibodies against two epitopes) was higher at 13 months than against the nucleoprotein (N-protein), as would be expected given the easier access of the spike protein to our immune system. That said, N-protein NAb production was still very high.

The greatest result, which is very, very welcome, came when the authors examined the Nab in subgroups. They looked at NAbs in people who had mild infections and those who had severe COVID-19.

Those who had severe COVID-19 have the highest Nabs against both proteins. And that’s excellent news for people who had to suffer severe COVID-19.  (See link for full article)

**Comment**

Despite the well known scientific fact that natural immunity is always far-superior to vaccines, which Fauci even admitted pre-2019, our corrupt government and any organization that follows in lock-step has misrepresented and denied this plain, simple fact.  People have lost their jobs.  Soldiers have been kicked out of the military. Children have lost out on educations due to this injustice.

But Fauci states his pre-2019 comment about natural immunity was taken out of context, and then erroneously stated:

“The issue of vaccines actually, at least with regard to SARS-CoV-2, can do better than nature,” Fauci said at the time.

This, has been proven to be completely untrue.  We now have a pandemic of the “vaccinated.”

The collateral damage due to ignoring natural immunity can not be overstated.

All of a sudden mainstream is talking about natural immunity and an opinion piece in the WSJ, Dr. Makary states that Omicon provides “superimmunity” which will be stronger against new variants & future coronaviruses, making “normal” life possible even as the virus continues to spread and mutate – just like the flu bug does every single year.  Ironically, experts have been saying this the whole time but it’s finally making mainstream news. They remain mum on the fact these injections, which aren’t vaccines, actually reprogram innate immune responses, as well as on results of autopsies on the “vaccinated“, which show horrific findings, revealing they will only go so far with transparency, and pointing to a predetermined, agreed upon outcome.

Facts and data are getting harder and harder to deny.

https://thehighwire.com/videos/who-is-dying-from-covid/ Video Here (Approx. 11 Min)

75% of COVID Deaths Had Four Comorbidities

Hear what CDC Director, Rochelle Walensky had to say.

Del BigTree was “fact-checked” by Snopes stating he took this out of context and that the deaths were among the fully “vaccinated” patients, and that somehow this supports the idea that the “vaccines” are effective.

BigTree than went back and showed the Aug. 2020 report, before the mass “vaccination” campaign, that showed that 94% of COVID deaths had over two comorbidities.

The clear point is the majority of COVID deaths are among the already ill, whether you are “vaccinated” or not.  This is important to understand for public policy.  As BigTree points out, we should not be masking healthy people, stopping children’s education, firing people, stopping the world, blaming the unvaccinated, and mandating a shot that is non-sterilizing, ineffective, and dangerous.

Testing Will Not Save Us

by Vinay Prasad, MD | Guest Writer
Published January 16, 2022 | Opinion

Testing Will Not Save Us

I have heard many people say that at this moment—January 2022—testing will save us. They cite success stories like the National Basketball Association’s bubble (of 2020) to show what testing can accomplish.  Unfortunately, here are nine considerations that they are missing when it comes to mass testing.

1. No one has any tests.

2. Many tests have limited sensitivity.

3. Low pre-test probability.

4. The distribution of testing.

5. Testing is only helpful if you have the resources to make salutatory choices as a result of the information.

6. Risk reduction vs delaying infection.

7. Harms of testing.

8. Contact tracing is impossible in most circumstances.

9. Testing creates anxiety and anchors our mind.

Overview of COVID Treatment Protocols

by Barbara Cáceres
Published January 11, 2022
Excerpts:
Two years into the global pandemic of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, there is scant guidance from government agencies, universities, or professional medical organizations to help individuals recover from the SARS-CoV-2 infection that causes COVID-19 without the need for hospitalization.
Although the recovery rate for SARS-COV-2 infections is between 97 and 99.5 percent,4 and most people recover without hospitalization, there are currently 125,922 people hospitalized with COVID in the U.S., and numbers are on an upward trend.5 Recent estimates of costs associated with inpatient treatment for COVID average from $31,339 to $472,213 per person, depending upon the severity of the case.6

The article then highlights the following treatments:

Monoclonal antibodies

While a number of doctors have successfully treated COVID with monoclonal antibodies, there have been reported infusion-related reactions to activation of the immune system by the monoclonal antibodies, such as flushing, itching, shortness of breath and low blood pressure,14 and there is a possibility of immediate or delayed serious adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome, acute anaphylaxis, serum sickness, infections, cancer, autoimmune disease and cardiotoxicity.15 16 There is uncertainty about whether the currently available monoclonal antibodies are effective in treating the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.17

Further, Dr. Ruby states the experimental monoclonal antibodies are like renting an army for a day, vs your own immune system which sticks around in case they are needed.

The Role of Zinc Ionophores

Controversy has surrounded the use of the drug ivermectin29 and other zinc ionophores.  A meta-analysis published in August 202133 concluded that there was moderate-certainty evidence for large reductions in COVID deaths using ivermectin. A June 2020 systematic review published in the medical journal Antibiotics34 identified ivermectin as having “antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-cancer properties.” The authors stated that the drug “is highly effective against many microorganisms including some viruses.”

Metabolic Syndrome Ignored As Risk Factor In COVID-19 Response

Despite the contribution of obesity and metabolic disorders to the disease burden of COVID, weight loss and prevention of metabolic disorders are not currently part of any published COVID public health policy.

STARI & Lyme Disease

https://danielcameronmd.com/southern-tick-associated-rash-illness-stari-and-lyme-disease/

Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI) and Lyme disease

Welcome to another Inside Lyme Podcast with your host Dr. Daniel Cameron. In this episode, Dr. Cameron will be discussing the case of a 63-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI).

By

In their article “Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness: Florida’s Lyme Disease” Abdelmaseih and colleagues describe the woman’s case, highlighting the differences between STARI and Lyme disease.¹

WATCH PODCAST BELOW

http://

The patient was bitten by a lone-star tick on her right leg while camping in Gainesville, Florida. She noticed a pruritic target erythematous lesion after removing the tick.

Two weeks later she was evaluated and reported having a persistent fever, headache, and diffuse myalgias for 4 days following the tick bite. On presentation, she had a fever of 100.5 F and a tachycardia of 127 BPM, low white count, anemia, low platelet count and elevated liver function tests.

Fortunately, the patient’s symptoms resolved with a 14-day course of doxycycline.

The authors discuss the differences and similarities of STARI and Lyme disease:

  • “The associated rash is similar if not indistinguishable from Lyme disease erythema migrans, with lymphocytic dermal infiltrate.”
  • Both the diagnosis of STARI and Lyme disease are based on clinical evidence. “At the present time, there is no approved diagnostic modality to identify STARI; thus, the diagnosis must be made on clinical evidence including erythema migrans and tick exposure.”
  • The diagnosis of STARI and Lyme disease often rely on geography. “Diagnosis usually relies on geographic association (STARI from central Texas and Oklahoma eastward across the southern states and along the Atlantic coast as far north as Maine, versus Lyme disease in northeast, mid-Atlantic, and upper mid-west).”

However, the authors did not address reports documenting the presence of lone-star ticks in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and upper Midwest and of deer ticks in the South.

It has been assumed that STARI does not have any long-term sequelae.

“A recent study has suggested that STARI is transmitted by the lone-star tick Amblyoma americanum; however, it may take some time before all the necessary data can be collected, since much is still unknown about STARI.”

The treatment of STARI is also uncertain. “STARI is often treated as Lyme disease with doxycycline twice daily for 14 days; however, there is no approved treatment yet.”

The authors conclude, “STARI is an emerging Lyme-like illness that causes the characteristic rash, erythema migrans. The current incidence of STARI remains unknown as it is not nationally reportable.”

The following questions are addressed in this Podcast episode:

  1. What is STARI?
  2. Are there differences between STARI and Lyme disease rashes?
  3. Are there differences in the ticks?
  4. How is STARI diagnosed, compared to Lyme disease?
  5. What clinical evidence does one need to diagnose STARI?
  6. What are the consequences if Lyme disease or co-infections is overlooked?
  7. What do we know about ticks in the South?

**Comment**

When I speak with experts they state STARI IS LYME.  Southerners have fought to be heard.  Patients have been turned away undiagnosed and untreated and are told, “You can’t have Lyme because Lyme doesn’t exist here,” which of course is asinine.  Until the birds quit flying, rodents quit crawling, lizards and humans quit moving, and transporting ticks everywhere they go, ticks will continue to travel.

Ask Dr. Jane

The Stew Peters Show

Jan. 12, 2022

Great, practical information within this video.  Please watch.

Summary:

  • Starting at 1:00 Dr. Jane discusses “chain of custody,” or the process and verification of how an object moves from point A to point B. There are special procedures for moving samples to and from a lab for screening. COVID injection vials also have “chain of custody” where they are signed for and carefully followed.
  • At 2:20 Dr. Ruby discusses that in her experience those getting COVID again (which again, can’t be verified due to the PCR fraud occurring and the inability to know if something truly is COVID) have had experimental monoclonal antibodies or the jab.  Getting the antibodies is like renting an army for a day. They come in, clean house, but then go away.  On the other-hand, the soldiers in your immune system stay around, continuing to clean house as needed.  Those getting the jab are catching every little cold bug or flu that’s going around.
  • at 4:30 Dr. Ruby discusses the doctors looking at “vaxxed” blood continue to follow up with patients, and at 5:04, they show a slide with strange, irregular, compact blood vessels.  The patients are also doing worse clinically – struggling with weakness, fatigue, severe illnesses, autoimmunity, and even hospitalizations. Doctors looking at vial ingredients have revealed horrific findings.
  • at 6:45, they discuss the fact that the Novavax shot still injects you with the toxic, bioweapon spike protein by the billions, you just get it differently.  They take mRNA designed to force the development of toxic, foreign spikes in your body and they put it in a baculovirus (insect pathogenic virus) which infects moths but not humans per say. They then transport the mRNA to the moth, which then makes billions of spikes which the company then extracts and puts on a graphene sheet and then fills a vial with adjuvant.  All of the COVID jabs are dangerous.  There isn’t one that’s safe, and none of them are “vaccines.”
  • At 8:30 Dr. Ruby discusses nebulized hydrogen peroxide.
  • “Viruses burn down, not up.”  ~ Dr. Ruby  This simply means that viruses grow weaker over time, not stronger.
  • We are in a cold and flu season.  This is nothing new, but it will all be labeled COVID.
  • Despite the fact the CDC recalled the PCR test  they state it can continue to be used for the rest of the year. There is absolutely no way PCR can determine what variant is causing illness.

CDC Walensky states, “These tests are not authorized for the purpose of evaluating contagiousness.”  Yet, these very tests have been used to keep people from working, going to school, and participating in society. 

https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/rapid-antigen-tests-cannot-distinguish

Rapid Antigen Tests Cannot Distinguish SARS-CoV-2 and HKU-1 – and That’s Dangerous

FDA Documents Show They Are Not Specific. The Law of the Instrument Tells Us That’s a Big Problem.
 
   
   
 

There’s an old expression: “When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. Sometimes referred to a “Maslow’s hammer”, this expression captures the idea of the law of the instrument. The origin of the expression seems to be from the observations that if you give a boy a hammer, they start pounding away at everything. Wikipedia has a good page on the history of this expression.

Thank goodness that regulations require that the FDA EUA documents not only be submitted, but that they can be viewed and read by anyone with access to the internet or who write to the FDA for a copy.

Everyone testing with the BinaxNOW nasal swab test, for example should be aware that per the documents provided by Abbott to the US FDA, their test can be a false positive if the person is infected with the HKU1 virus. (See the IFU Document):

“The comparison between SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, MERS-CoV and human coronavirus HKU1 revealed that cross-reactivity cannot be ruled out.”

This language (or similar) is found in other IFU Documents for other COVID-19 RAT tests as well.

That means the test lacks pathogen specificity, and FDA cannot tell us what the risk of a false COVID-19 indication is without follow-up PCR testing. Further, like the PCR test, the comparison was only computational, based on BLAST-determine homology, not based on studies of thousands of patients. Further, protein structure, not sequence, is important for cross-reactivity – BLAST is not refined enough a tool to determine actually binding capacity, yet the FDA allowed negative BLAST results as evidence of degree of specificity.

PCR testing is similarly fraught with its own false positive problems, in part due to the same error (allowing BLAST results instead of requiring actual data from large studies). This is an issue the CDC could be finally coming to terms with after IPAK published a peer-review study in our journal on the problem, after Dr. Sin Hang Lee published two studies, after dozens of videos and articles have been written by yours truly alerting the world of the problem of PCR false positives due to the use of high cycle thresholds, and after an uproar over the fact that the PCR tests do not rule in Influenza.

HKU1, aka HCoV-HK1, first detected in 2004 in Hong Kong, is a Betacoronavirus (because it has a Hemagglutinin esterase gene), and enters the cell via a different recept that SARS-CoV-2. Like SAR-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-2, it is an enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus.

Here’s an array of symptoms of HKU1 infection reported in 2017:

“Of 832 adult respiratory specimens screened, 13 (1.6%) cases of CoV-HKU1 were identified. Adults age ranged between 23 and 75 years and 6 (46%) were males. All of whom had 1 or more respiratory symptoms, and 5 (38%) also reported 1 or more gastrointestinal symptoms. Eleven (85%) reported history of smoking and 5 (38%) used inhaled steroids. Seven (54%) required hospitalization, 5 (71%) of these needed supplemental oxygen, and 2 (29%) were admitted to intensive care. Median length of hospitalization was 5 days. Eight (62%) received antibiotics despite identification of CoV-HKU1. Infectious work-up in 1 patient who died did not reveal any other pathogen. In 2 (15%) CoV-HKU1-positive adults, the only viral coinfection detected was influenza A.”

In 15% of people studied, co-infection with Influenza A was detected. That’s fairly common. For all of 2020-2021, for two years, “co-infection” of COVID-19 patients (PCR+ for SARS-CoV) was not even mentioned. Now that everyone (well, nearly everyone) is testing with in-home nasal swab kits for antibodies, many will be positive but will actually be HKU-1. Given the FDA’s allowance of specificity-by-BLAST, the problem could be much worse.

Why This is Dangerous

There are few good reasons why this is dangerous. Yes, the problem will make it appear as if more people have COVID-19 than actually do. The clinical workflow for COVID-19 is far more strenuous than for influenza A or HKU-1, so there’s the added burden on the healthcare system. I’ve heard reports that some hospitals are resorting to triage, placing non-PCR+ non-respiratory illness patients at risk (the in-hospital PCR screening adds to this as well).

However, people who have had a positive Rapid Antigen Test may also come to think of COVID-19 as mild for them, and their families – and worse – they may believe they have natural immunity and let their guard down. They may be more willing to attend a large gather, or mingle with others while symptomatic.

Third, false positives from PCR and from RAT tests alike will lead the public – and public health and medical communities – to believe that re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 is possible. The dynamics of societal responses will be flawed, leading to more quarantine, shut-downs, draconian control measures.

Fourth, the clinical care for a person who has respiratory viral infections other than SARS-CoV-2 may be different. If 15% of patients with “COVID-19” have something else, the CDC should know and medical practice should be altered to address this.

Fifth, co-housing non-COVID19 respiratory patients with COVID-19 patients can place them at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Being sick already, they may have a more difficult clinical course as a result. Here’s a case of a woman who had HKU-1 infection on the day of entry and tested positive for COVID-19 on Day 3 of hospitalization.

Every single person who tests positive via PCR or RAT who has clinical symptoms or who has been exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 should have a confirmatory Sanger Sequencing test conducted to ensure what they have (or had) was truly a SARS-CoV-2 infection. As an added benefit, unlike PCR or RAT, Sanger Sequencing can tell us what variant we have (or have had).

There are over 6,000 laboratories around the US that can conduct Sanger Sequencing, and Sin Hang Lee, MD of Millford, CT is happy to provide the information on the primers he has developed for nested primer target amplification – and for Omicron detection.

Here’s a requisition form that can be used to order the Sanger Sequencing test (I have no financial relationship w/Dr. Lee or Millford Diagnostics).

The Law of the Instrument tells us that if you only test for COVID-19, you’ll only find COVID-19. Multiplex respiratory pathogen tests are also used in some places.

Please share with doctors and nurses in your area. This could help you & your loved ones travel a safer course.
