“…For example, the investigation performed in Mexico showed a lack of IgG antibody seropositivity to Borrelia burgdorferi in patients with Parry-Romberg syndrome and linear morphea en coup de sabre [48]. The results of PCR-based studies do not argue for a significant association of B. burgdorferi sensu lato with localized scleroderma [39]. On the other hand, Verberkt RM and colleagues, (2014) emphasized that focus floating microscopy proved to be more sensitive than polymerase chain reaction and observed to be nearly equally specific [49].…”

“…Generalmente las lesiones aparecen espontáneamente, pero existen factores desencadenantes como los descritos en las infecciones por Borrelia burgdorferi, fármacos (bleomicina, pentazocina, isoniazida, taxoles, vitamina K), productos químicos (sílice, disolventes orgánicos, cloruro de vinilo), neoplasia maligna de mama o melanoma metastásico y radioterapia (2,3). Existen las siguientes formas de presentación: circunscrita en placas o bandas localizadas o generalizadas, lineal, mixta (combinando alguna de las anteriores) y frontoparietal en "golpe de sable" con o sin hemiatrofia de la cara (1,4).…”

“…The first studies in Brazil to report the occurrence of B. burgdorferi sensu lato were published in 2010, when dermatologists used immunohistochemistry to identify the spirochete in skin biopsies of the erythema migrans from four patients 33 . In a subsequent study employing immunohistochemistry and focus floating microscopy, Talhari and co-workers 34 also identified the bacterium in skin lesions from 22 patients.…”
