Morphoea: a manifestation of infection with Borrelia species?

18 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Morphoea or localized scleroderma is a cutaneous inflammatory disease with still unknown aetiology. Borrelia burgdorferi as causative agent has been discussed controversially. OBJECTIVES: To assess the evidence for infection with B. burgdorferi in patients with morphoea by focus-floating microscopy (FFM). METHODS: Using standard histological equipment, tissue sections stained with a polyclonal B....
