Borrelia in granuloma annulare, morphea and lichen sclerosus: a PCR‐based study and review of the literature

10 Dec 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Morphea, granuloma annulare (GA) and lichen sclerosus et atrophicans (LSA) have also been suggested to be linked to Borrelia infection. Previous studies based on serologic data or detection of Borrelia by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reported contradictory results. Thus, we examined skin biopsies of morphea, GA and LSA by PCR to assess the prevalence of Borrelia DNA in an...
