Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. (Herxheimer-Hartmann)

Etiology of the acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans lesion in Lyme disease.

Spirochete diversity in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans lesions in a closely defined central European site was compared to that in the local vector population, in human erythema migrans lesions, and in cerebrospinal fluid by amplifying and sequencing a segment of the gene of outer surface protein A directly from sampled tissues. Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi a...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2016-216033 DESCRIPTION Background Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) is the first presentation of Lyme borreliosis in about 3% of patients. This case is important as it reminds physicians that ACA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-acute...

Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans of the face: a case report and a brief review of the literature.

Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is a rare late manifestation of tick-borne Borrelia burgdorferi infection, manifesting as inflammatory and atrophic lesions on acral skin. We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with skin changes progressed to marked atrophy on her left hand and an edematous inflammatory involvement of the face. The diagnosis of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans was ma...

Serodiagnosis of erythema migrans and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans by the Borrelia burgdorferi flagellum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The diagnostic performance of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using purified Borrelia burgdorferi flagella as test antigen was compared with that of a B. burgdorferi sonic extract ELISA. We tested sera from 200 healthy controls, 107 patients with erythema migrans (EM), 50 patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA), and 98 patients with various dermatological disorders ...
