[Ocular involvement in Lyme disease].
Lyme disease is a tick-born multisystemic disease, caused by the Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. We examined and treated a 60-year-old woman, who 6 months after a tick bite had developed bilateral uveitis, with the involvement of the anterior segment, vitreous opacities and retinal vasculitis. The ocular involvement was, besides the skin lesion in the first stage of the disease, the only systemic manifestation of the infection.
