In EGR, the advancing erythema may represent the advancement of inflammatory mediators through stroma that is unable to keep them walled off.

Lyme Als er erythema chronicum migrans is, dan zijn er feitelijk geen verdere onderzoeken nodig voor de diagnose.

The presence of bacteria B. burgdorferi sensu lato in the blood of the patients with multiple erythema migrans was not higher than in the patients with solitary erythema migrans (p = 0.8917).

Borrelia burgdorferi genospecies in humans and ticks in the Alpe Adria region The dominant prevalence of B.afzelii in humans in the Belluno area may be due to the fact that the isolates were obtained from patients with erythema migrans; there is general agreement that skin manifestations are most often caused by this genospecies. The samples of the patients from the Karst area were from erythema migrans, disseminated erythema migrans, arthritis, and myocarditis: the isolated strains belonged to all three Bb genospecies known to be human pathogens, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Borrelia afzelii, with a prevalence of 40%, 30% and 30%, respectively. In the Belluno area the genospecies B. burgdorferi s.s., B. valaisiana and B. afzelii were detected in ticks (Grazioli et al., personal communication), but the rate of infection of B. afzelii was not as high as found in humans. www.mf.uni-lj.si /acta-apa/acta-apa-01-4/cinco.html   (952 words)

eMedicine - Lyme Disease : Article by Jonathan A Edlow, MD Several decades later in 1912, a Swedish dermatologist, Arvid Afzelius, described erythema chronicum migrans (ECM), which currently is referred to simply as erythema migrans (EM). The size and location are typical of erythema migrans, as is the history of the patient vacationing on Fire Island, NY in August. It was not until 1975, when a statistically improbable cluster of childhood arthritis occurred in and around the town of Lyme, Connecticut, that the full spectrum of the disease was elucidated. www.emedicine.com /derm/topic536.htm   (952 words)

more about Borreliosis The proper name of the borreliosis rash is erythema migrans, erythema meaning red and migrans meaning the rash migrates or enlarges. Blurry vision is the fourth most common symptom in borreliosis, but that is with combining all of the various pains together and all of the brain or thinking problems together. Borreliosis patients with a chronic infection most commonly have pain, tiredness, brain or thinking problems, blurry vision and neurological (nerve) problems. www.drcharlescrist.com /borreliosis2.htm   (14374 words)

Lyme Disease Surveillance in England and Wales, 1986-1998 However, the proportion of patients with erythema migrans may be relatively low, either because patients with erythema migrans are easily identified without serologic tests or because serologic tests have relatively low sensitivity at this early stage. Lyme borreliosis, a zoonosis caused by the spirochete Borrelia burdorferi sensu lato and transmitted by Ixodes ticks, is the most prevalent and widespread vector-borne human infection in the northern hemisphere, with enzootic cycles that can be maintained in a wide range of ecologic conditions ( 1). The proportion of Lyme borreliosis patients with a reported history of tick bites has risen steadily, from 24% in 1986-1992 and 32% in 1993-1996 to 39% in 1997-98. www.cdc.gov /ncidod/eid/vol6no4/smith.htm   (14374 words)

Lyme Disease Surveillance in England and Wales, 1986-1998 However, the proportion of patients with erythema migrans may be relatively low, either because patients with erythema migrans are easily identified without serologic tests or because serologic tests have relatively low sensitivity at this early stage. Serologic diagnosis in the two reference laboratories in England and Wales follows an internationally recommended two-step approach (7) of antibody screening tests followed by immunoblots of reactive or equivocal samples.

Postgraduate Medicine: Pearls in Dermatology Differential diagnostic considerations in suspected erythema migrans include reactions to other insect bites (eg, spider bite), cellulitis, tinea corporis, granuloma annulare, erythema annulare centrifugum, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, fixed drug eruptions and, if multiple lesions are present, urticaria, Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis), and erythema multiforme (1,2). Pearls in Dermatology is coordinated by Robert T. Brodell, MD, professor of internal medicine and clinical professor of dermatopathology in pathology, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, Rootstown, Ohio, and associate clinical professor of dermatology, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland. Serologic testing that includes an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and confirmatory Western blot analysis is available; however, because of their low specificity, especially in early disease, these tests should be used only to support a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease (4). www.postgradmed.com /issues/2000/05_00/ledbetter.htm   (1914 words)

THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 13, Ch. 159, Rickettsial Diseases Lyme disease, in which the characteristic erythema chronicum migrans rash often occurs, should also be considered. Rickettsialpox is mild; usually an initial eschar occurs at the point of the mite attachment, and the rash, in the form of vesicles with surrounding erythema, is sparse. Local eschars occur in patients with scrub typhus, rickettsialpox, and, occasionally, the spotted fevers. www.merck.com /mrkshared/mmanual/section13/chapter159/159a.jsp   (1378 words)
