We report a 10-year-old girl who presented with acute arthritis of the left knee, which was confirmed as Lyme arthritis by serology and molecular assay. Careful history and examination were the keys to suspecting the diagnosis. The patient lived in the US for five years and her symptoms developed about a year after her return to Oman. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of Lyme arthritis in Oman and the Arabian Gulf region. This case indicates the need to suspect Lyme disease in patients presenting with compatible symptoms and a history of recent travel to endemic regions.
我们报告了一名10岁女孩，她出现左膝急性关节炎，经血清学和分子检测确诊为莱姆关节炎。详细的病史和检查是怀疑该诊断的关键。该患者在美国生活了五年，回国到阿曼大约一年后出现症状。据我们所知，这是阿曼和阿拉伯海湾地区首例莱姆关节炎病例报告。该病例表明，对于出现相关症状且近期有前往流行地区旅行史的患者，有必要怀疑莱姆病。
