The role of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> infection in scleroderma

Abstract: Borrelia burgdorferi, bakteria Gram-ujemna o kształcie krętka, przenoszona na ludzi przez kleszcze, stanowi czynnik etiologiczny boreliozy (choroby z Lyme). Obraz kliniczny boreliozy jest bardzo zróżnicowany, a w jej przebiegu wyróżnia się kilka patomorfologicznych rodzajów zmian skórnych, takich jak zapalne, zanikowe i sklerotyczne. Badania naukowe w ostatnich dwudziestu latach wskazują na możliwy związek twardziny miejscowej i liszaja zanikowego z zakażeniem Borrelia burgdorferi. Wykazano, że istnieje klinic… Show more

“…Borrelia's ability to persist within host tissues, evade immune detection, and induce chronic inflammation raises the prospect of sustained immunological responses. In individuals genetically predisposed to autoimmune reactions, the presence of Borrelia may act as a trigger, initiating a series of events that ultimately lead to the fibrotic alterations typical of morphea [22].…”
