Role of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> in the pathogenesis of morphea/scleroderma and lichen sclerosus et atrophicus: a PCR study of thirty‐five cases

1 Aug 1996

Abstract excerpt

Morphea (localized scleroderma), and lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) share common features with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA), a known chronic form of borreliosis. These include similar histologic findings such as diffuse dermal fibrosis. These observations have led several investigators to consider the possibility of Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) as a common etiologic factor among all of these...
