Imported Pediatric Lyme Disease in Singapore—A Case Series

Lyme disease is the most common reported vector-borne disease in North America and is also highly prevalent across Europe. Although tick-borne diseases are uncommon in Singapore, there remains a risk of imported tick-borne diseases among travelers from endemic regions. We present a case series of three pediatric patients with imported Lyme disease managed at a tertiary children's hospital in Singapore, illustrating the varied clinical presentations of Lyme disease in children. One child developed meningitis following prior antibiotic therapy for Lyme disease, although causality cannot be definitively established. This series aims to highlight key diagnostic considerations and management principles relevant to clinicians practicing in non-endemic regions.
