{Abstract}: Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a complex tick-borne illness with diverse presentations. We report a case of LB meningitis with herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) co-infection in a 55-year-old woman initially presenting with isolated facial nerve palsy. This case illustrates the multifaceted diagnostic challenges associated with Lyme co-infections. It emphasizes the need for thorough testing to identify all potential pathogens and the importance of differentiating between true co-infection and incidental HSV-1 reactivation. Understanding these complexities is crucial for guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
