Skin Changes in Suspected Lyme Disease.
Acta Dermatovenerol Croat
December 2023
Pero Vržogić, MD, Naftalan Special Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation, Ivanić Grad, Croatia;
Article Synopsis
- Ticks are a significant health concern in Croatia and worldwide due to their role in transmitting various diseases, including Lyme borreliosis, which is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium.
- In Croatia, the incidence rate of Lyme borreliosis is approximately 6.51 cases per 100,000 people, highlighting the risk of infection from ticks.
- The article describes a case of a 58-year-old woman with Lyme disease who had skin manifestations that fully regressed after successful treatment, demonstrating the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.

Case Report: A 49-year-old man with no significant medical history presented to the emergency department from an urgent care with hypoxia saturating in the mid 80s.
Pseudolymphoma to Lymphoma: A Case of Chronic Reactive Lymphoid Hyperplasia Transforming to Primary Cutaneous Marginal Zone Lymphoma.
Am J Dermatopathol
April 2023
Section of Dermatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, Roanoke, VA.
Article Synopsis
- Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) is a low-grade B-cell lymphoma that occurs in the skin, often showing up as red papules, nodules, or plaques.
- It is linked to chronic antigenic stimulation from sources like tick-borne bacteria, vaccines, or tattoos, and may develop following conditions like cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia due to ongoing inflammation.
- Recent research has improved diagnostics for PCMZL by identifying genetic abnormalities and revealing associations with gastrointestinal disorders, such as Helicobacter pylori and inflammatory bowel disease, illustrated by a case of a patient with ulcerative colitis evolving into PCMZL.
Early Lyme Disease (Erythema Migrans) and Its Mimics (Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness and Tick-Associated Rash Illness).

Erythema migrans, an expanding erythematous skin lesion that develops days to weeks following an Ixodes species tick bite, is the most common clinical manifestation of Lyme disease. Presentations in the United States differ somewhat from that in Europe, presumably because of the different etiologic agents. Diagnosis is based on the appearance of the skin lesion, rather than on laboratory testing.
