Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies in childhood scleroderma
Background and aim A possible aetiological connection between skin sclerosis and infection with Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) has been discussed. Studies investigating the link between Bb and morphea have produced conflicting results. In several series, all patients with morphea tested have been seronegative. Other studies have found specific antibodies to Bb in between 6% and 54% of patients with ...
متن کاملLocalized Scleroderma: Predisposing and Triggering Factors
The etiology of localized scleroderma remains unclear. The objective of this article is to review different theories of etiology, specifically provocative and predisposing factors for the development of localized scleroderma. The mini-review presents the factors, which may influence the occurrence of localized scleroderma. The genetic predisposition for the development of scleroderma is a relev...
متن کاملRadioiodine as a possible triggering agent for pemphigus foliaceus
Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune blistering disease presenting in endemic and sporadic forms. The typical presentation is recurrent shallow erosions in a seborrheic distribution. PF has also been found in association with autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroid disease (e.g. toxic nodular goiter and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). In some patients, PF appears to be triggered by radioi...
متن کاملChemotaxis in Borrelia burgdorferi.
Borrelia burgdorferi is a motile spirochete which has been identified as the causative microorganism in Lyme disease. The physiological functions which govern the motility of this organism have not been elucidated. In this study, we found that motility of B. burgdorferi required an environment similar to interstitial fluid (e.g., pH 7.6 and 0.15 M NaCl). Several methods were used to detect and ...
متن کاملLinear and circular plasmid content in Borrelia burgdorferi clinical isolates.
The genome of Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, is composed of a linear chromosome and more than 20 linear and circular plasmids. Typically, plasmid content analysis has been carried out by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and confirmed by Southern hybridization. However, multiple plasmids of virtually identical sizes (e.g., lp28 and cp32) complicate the interpretation ...
