Abstract
Myositis has been reported as a rare manifestation of Lyme disease, and
the Lyme disease spirochetes can be an important consideration in the
differential diagnosis of unusual cases of myositis, especially in
patients who live in or travel to endemic areas. We report the case of
two patients who presented with focal orbital myositis which are rare
localization for Lyme disease. Myositis were confirmed by magnetic
resonance imaging. Diagnosis criteria for Borrelia burgdorferi (B.
burgdorferi) infection was supported by (i) medical history (tick bite
in an endemic area), (ii) systemic clinical findings (Erythema
migrans, neurological manifestation or arthritis), (iii) positive Lyme
serology and/or the detection of B. burgdorferi DNA by polymerase
chain reaction, as well as (iv) exclusion of other infectious and
inflammatory causes. The current cases are reviewed in the context of
findings from previous myositis descriptions.
