Infectious intermediate uveitis in Lyme disease – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/21042323

This is a infectious form of uveitis localised to the vitreous and peripheral retina. Primary sites of inflammation include the vitreous of which other such entities as pars planitis, posterior cyclitis, and hyalitis are encompassed. Intermediate uveitis may either be an isolated eye disease or associated with the development of a systemic disease such as multiple sclerosis or sarcoidosis. This diagnosis is in an infectious disease caused by at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia.
