title: [A late revealing of a case of tick-born borreliosis].
abstract: Nowadays, many researchers believe that there is a firm ethiopathogenetic association between limited focal scleroderma and focal dermal atrophy, on the one part, and Lyme borreliosis, on the other. Reports on a possible role of Borrelia bugdorferi in the ethiology of scleroderma, which appeared in press in the 90s of the last century, made it possible to confirm a case of tick-born borreliosis (TBB) described below after clinical and specific laboratory examination (antibody immunofluorescence reaction -- AIF -- establishes an elevated level of anti-borellious antibodies in patients with the diagnosis of focal scleroderma). The diagnosis of TBB was made on the basis of clinical manifestations -- disseminated superficial morphea guttata in a form of plaques, positive AIF result, and epidemiological data.
