本报告介绍了一个日本病人谁开发莱姆病的情况。患者是一名44岁女性，全身乏力，无法张口。最初怀疑她患有轻度破伤风伴牙关紧闭症;然而，她报告了在美国露营时被蜱虫叮咬的既往史，并在此次访视前2个月出现游走性红斑。最后，莱姆病被血清学证实。在日本，每年报告少数莱姆病病例;然而，也应该怀疑这种传染病。
This report presents the case of a Japanese patient who developed Lyme disease. The patient was a 44-year-old woman who had general fatigue and the inability to open her mouth. She was initially suspected of having mild tetanus with lockjaw; however, she reported a past history of a tick bite while camping in the USA and had erythema migrans 2 months before this visit. Finally, Lyme disease was serologically confirmed. A few cases of Lyme disease are annually reported in Japan; however, this infectious disease should also be suspected.
