Lyme disease involves numerous anatomic areas and systems and is caused by a spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. In this article, we describe one case of monolateral chorioretinitis with multiple foci in a 22-year-old myopic man. The diagnosis of this disease was confirmed by positive specific anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies titrated with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method and by serum-conversion occurring approximately six weeks after the end of therapy. Considering the potential effect of this disease on the world's population, we wish to draw attention to its occurrence because it frequently involves ocular structures. Prompt and adequate therapy guarantees complete healing and avoids both short- and long-term complications.
莱姆病累及多个解剖区域和系统，由一种螺旋体——伯氏疏螺旋体引起。在本文中，我们描述了一名22岁近视男性单侧脉络膜视网膜炎伴多个病灶的病例。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法滴定的特异性抗伯氏疏螺旋体抗体呈阳性以及治疗结束后约六周出现血清转化，确诊了该疾病。考虑到这种疾病对全球人口的潜在影响，我们希望提请注意其发生情况，因为它经常累及眼部结构。及时且充分的治疗可确保完全治愈，并避免短期和长期并发症。
