Resumé

Lyme borreliose er den mest almindelige flåtoverførte infektion. Lyme neuroborreliose (LNB) er en af de alvorligste manifestationer af lyme borreliose, hvor nervesystemet inficeres. LNB kan give en bred vifte af senfølger, herunder kognitive. Til trods for øget forskning på området er det endnu ikke belyst, hvilken betydning den neuropsykologiske udredning har i det videre sygdomsforløb hos patienter med LNB. I nærværende forskningsprojekt er dette undersøgt ved hjælp af en kvalitativ metode, en fokusgruppe med patienter med LNB, som blev fulgt i Klinisk Center for Vektorbårne Infektioner (KCVI), og som havde fået foretaget en neuropsykologisk undersøgelse (NPU). Syv patienter med LNB deltog. Samlet viser forskningsprojektet, at NPU’en understøtter nye handlemønstre hos patienterne samt øger deres håndtering af det videre sygdomsforløb. Ligeledes bidrager NPU’en til øget erkendelse hos patienterne og deres pårørende samt giver omgivelserne øget forståelse for sygdomsforløbet og håndteringen.
