Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness, can present with diverse symptoms.
  • Ocular manifestations of Lyme disease are uncommon but serious.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old female presented with bilateral keratitis six years post-tick bite.
  • Corneal infiltrates were observed from superficial layers to pre-Descemet's membrane.
  • Joint, skin (erythema migrans), and possible peripheral nerve involvement were noted.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis confirmed via indirect immunofluorescence assays.
  • Patient experienced rapid healing with amoxicillin and corticosteroid therapy.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for delayed diagnosis of Lyme disease.
  • Emphasizes the importance of considering Lyme disease in atypical ocular presentations.
  • Discusses diagnostic challenges and therapeutic approaches for Lyme disease complications.
