Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with histiocytic pseudorosettes: A new histopathologic pattern in cutaneous borreliosis. Detection of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA sequences by a highly sensitive PCR-ELISA

A novel case of polyfibromatosis and interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis

“…13 However, there have not been any conclusive cases of B burgdorferi infection in Australia. 14,15 To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of an association between interstitial granulomatous dermatitis with arthritis and polyfibromatosis.…”

Arthropods in dermatology

“…[201][202][203][204] This lesion is characterized by an initial inflammatory phase appearing as a bluish-red edematous erythema that, if left untreated, may lead to atrophy of all skin layers and usually occurs on the dorsal portion of the hand, elbow, foot, or knee. 205 Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is seen in middleaged and elderly European patients and in immigrants from Europe. 202 Borrelia burgdorferi has also been implicated in anetoderma and sclerotic skin lesions, including morphea-like plaques and lichen sclerosis et atrophicus.…”

Cutaneous and systemic Lyme disease

“…Indeed, evidence is growing that granuloma annulare [97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104] and interstitial granulomatous dermatitis [105][106][107] might be partly caused by B. burgdorferi or similar strains. There are single reports that connect other skin disease to Borrelia, for example, cutaneous sarcoidosis, especially in the Chinese literature [108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120], necrobiosis lipoidica [121], necrobiotic xanthogranuloma [122] and single cases of mycosis fungoides [123], but the evidence for latter skin disease is not unambiguous.…”
