Abstract

An 11-year-old girl developed bilateral keratitis, which we believe was a manifestation of Lyme disease. She had had several attacks of Lyme arthritis and was twice treated with parenteral penicillin. The keratitis developed five years after the initial episode of Lyme arthritis at a time when there were no other manifestations of Lyme disease. It cleared completely in both eyes after topical corticosteroid therapy.

摘要

一名11岁女孩患上了双侧角膜炎，我们认为这是莱姆病的一种表现。她曾多次发作莱姆关节炎，并接受过两次肠胃外青霉素治疗。角膜炎在莱姆关节炎初次发作五年后出现，当时并无莱姆病的其他表现。局部使用皮质类固醇治疗后，她双眼的角膜炎完全消退。
