Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA (B garinii or B afzelii) in Morphea and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus Tissues of German and Japanese but Not of US Patients

1 Jan 1997

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the geographic and genospecific association of Borrelia with morphea and lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA). DESIGN: The association of Borrelia burgdorferi with morphea and LSA has been reported, but is still controversial. We conducted a retrospective survey of Borrelia DNA in skin biopsy specimens. SETTINGS: The samples were collected from the outpatient clinic of university hospitals...
