In this article presented a female with neuroborreliosis responsive to ceftriaxone and doxycycline.

The receptor antibodies were attributed to epitope homology of the acetylcholine receptors and Borrelia surface antigens. This case was found worthy of presentation to emphasize that cases of lyme disease may develop myasthenia gravis in follow-up period.
