  • Title: Cytologically proven seronegative Lyme choroiditis and vitritis.
    Author: Schubert HD, Greenebaum E, Neu HC.
    Journal: Retina; 1994; 14(1):39-42. PubMed ID: 8016460.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report on a vitreous specimen in a 53-year-old patient with unilateral choroiditis and vitritis of unknown cause. METHODS: Cytologic examination of a vitreous aspirate stained by the Papanicolaou method. RESULTS: Intravitreal spirochetes consistent with Borrelia burgdorferi were found in this seronegative patient. CONCLUSION: Vitreous specimens of patients with choroiditis and vitritis of unknown cause should be examined cytologically, particularly when serologic results do not corroborate the clinical findings of Lyme disease.
