Abstract

Four patients from Caribbean and Central American countries with ocular disease and serologic evidence of Lyme borreliosis are discussed. To our knowledge this is the first report of Lyme disease from this geographic area. Two patients exhibited ocular inflammatory disease, and two patients developed optic neuropathy. A brief discussion of Lyme borreliosis, its serologic diagnosis, and its treatment is presented.
