“…Lyme arthritis in children is usually treated with doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime for 28 days. 3 , 4 , 10 Nine out of 10 of patients respond well to antibiotic therapy. 5 , 11 Our patient made a full recovery with four weeks of oral cefuroxime.…”

“…3 The most common presentation of Lyme disease in children is erythema migrans, which occurs at the early stage, either localized at the site of the tick bite or disseminated throughout the body. 4 Constitutional symptoms, such as fever, malaise, and headache, may accompany the rash but it is not universal and generally is mild. If Lyme disease is not detected or treated at the early stages, it may progress into a late stage which manifests most commonly as arthritis and more rarely as isolated facial nerve palsy, Lyme carditis, or meningitis.…”

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.

Nowadays Lyme disease (systemic tick-borne borreliosis, Lyme borreliosis) remains one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases with inoculable transmission mechanism, with ixodid ticks as carriers and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato as the causative agent. The disease is characterized by a staged course and severe damage to various organs and systems. In Ukraine, the natural foci of this disease are almost throughout the country. Sumy region occupies a leading place in terms of morbidity. In Ukraine, the most affected regions are Kyiv (29.00 cases per 100 thousand population), Cherkasy (25.4), Vinnytsia (23.9), Sumy (25.89) regions, and Kyiv city (22.54). Lyme disease is mainly registered in the spring-autumn period, this may be due to increased visits to recreation areas and seasonal activity of ticks (May–June, September–October). Scientific data about etiology, epidemiology, clinical course, diagnostics, therapy, and disease preventive measures were analyzed. It was found that B. burgdorferi s. l. is one of the most widespread agents with inoculable transmission mechanism on the European continent, including Ukraine. There is no single worldwide conception concerning preventive measures, diagnostics, and treatment, which necessitates the further study of this problem. Detection of antibodies to B. Burgdorferi s. l. in the human blood serum is not evidence of infection but testifies the previous contact with these pathogens and the presence of high risk of Lyme disease development. To improve the epidemiologic situation concerning Lyme disease it is required to study sites of the disease in Ukraine more thoroughly, to improve epidemiological surveillance system by creating disease spread map for diseases which are transferred by ticks in Sumy region, to plan a series of anti-epidemic and preventive measures, which are of practical use for population, to prevent asymptomatic disease course and chronization.

Birinci basamak sağlık hizmetleri hastaya en yakın olan noktadır. Hastalanan veya sağlığından şüphe duyan kişinin ilk başvurduğu kişi, Aile hekimi, Aile Sağlığı Merkezi veya kendine en yakın sağlık kurumudur. Bu noktadaki doğru teşhis ve tedavi hasta ve sağlık hizmetlerinin etkinliği ve tedavinin maliyeti açısından büyük önem taşır. Lyme artriti, İxodes cinsi sert kenelerin ısırığı ile geçen Borrelio Burgdorferi spiroketinin neden olduğu hastalıklardan biridir. Enfeksiyonlarında deri, merkezi sinir sistemi, kalp, göz ve diğer organlar tutulabilir, çoğu olguda eklemler başlıca tutulum yeridir. Artrit şikayetleri ile başvuran çocukların çok küçük bir yüzdesi Lyme artriti hastasıdır. Avrupada ise çocuk ve ergenlerde bakteriyel enfeksiyonu takiben ortaya çıkan artritler içinde en sık görüleni Lyme artritidir. Lyme artritinin başlıca semptomları, etkilenen eklemlerde şişlik, hareket kısıtlılığı ve sıvı birikimidir. Sıklıkla, eklem şişliklerine ağrı eşlik eder. Bu olgu sunumunda, birinci basamağa eklemlerde ağrı, şişlik, yürüyememe şikayeti ile gelen Lyme artritli bir hastayı sunduk.
