    Notes: We present an unusual case of linear focal elastosis occurring exclusively on the legs of a 13-year-old girl. An increase of elastic fibres (EF) was demonstrated histologically, and the number of EF in lesional and normal skin was quantified using a video measuring system. EF were found to be increased by about 100% in lesional skin compared with unaffected skin. EF were elongated, thinned and split at their ends with a paintbrush formation. Dedicated to Eva Jurkowitsch, MD, on the occasion of her birthday.

    Notes: Summary We report on a 24-year-old male originating from Yugoslavia with a focal, transgressive palmoplantar keratoderma presumably inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Associated clinical findings were hyperkeratotic lichenoid papules on the knees and elbows, psoriasis-like lesions in the groins and on the scalp, a spotty or reticulate hyperpigmentation of the face, trunk and extremities and a partial alopecia of the left eyebrow and eyelashes. The patient's sister was affected by similar but less pronounced cutaneous changes. Although our case shares some similarities with other hereditary palmoplantar keratodermas there remain substantial differences. We therefore believe this case to represent a new entity.

    Notes: A 64-year-old woman presented with bullous and ulcerating lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) on the neck, trunk, genital and perigenital area and the extremities. Histology of lesional skin showed the typical manifestations of LSA; in one of the biopsies spirochaetes were detected by silver staining. Despite treatment with four courses of ceftriaxone with or without methylprednisone for up to 20 days, progression of LSA was only stopped for a maximum of 1 year. Spirochaetes were isolated from skin cultures obtained from enlarging LSA lesions. These spirochaetes were identified as Borrelia afzelii by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses. However, serology for B. burgdorferi sensu lato was repeatedly negative. After one further 28-day course of ceftriaxone the lesions stopped expanding and sclerosis of the skin was diminished. At this time cultures for spirochaetes and PCR of lesional skin for B. afzelii DNA remained negative. These findings suggest a pathogenetic role for B. afzelii in the development of LSA and a beneficial effect of appropriate antibiotic treatment.

    Notes: A 45-year-old man presented with circumscribed scleroderma (CS) on the extremities. Histology of lesional skin showed the typical manifestations of scleroderma including a perivascular and interstitial infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells; in one of the biopsies spirochaetes could be detected. Despite treatment with penicillin, progression of CS was observed and spirochaetes were isolated from skin cultures obtained from active scleroderma lesions. These spirochaetes were identified as Borrelia afzelii by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of outer surface proteins and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of their chromosome. After two courses with ceftriaxone the lesions stopped expanding and sclerosis of the skin was diminished. At this time cultures for spirochaetes and PCR of lesional skin for Borrelia afzelii DNA remained negative. The pathogenetic role of Borrelia afzelii in the development of CS is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Humoral immune responses to Borrelia hurgdorferi (Bb) have been reported to occur in certain patients with circumscribed scleroderma (CS) (morphoea). Together with the isolation of spiro-chaetes from CS skin biopsies, this finding was taken to suggest Bb as the aetiological agent of CS. Since there is cellular immunoreactivity to Bb in patients with chronic Lyme borreliosis (LB). Bb-specific lymphocytic responses were tested in patients with CS. For this purpose, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from CS patients and. as controls, from patients with various manifestations of LB, and from healthy volunteers without any evidence of Bb infection, were exposed to Bb organisms for 5 days and then assayed for DNA synthesis. Stimulation indices (SI)〉 10 were scored positive. By performing lymphocyte proliferation tests we found: (i) that not only patients with various manifestations of LB but also a considerable percentage of seropositive (five of 13 = 38%) and seronegative (six of 26 = 23%) CS patients exhibit an elevated Bb-induced lymphocyte proliferation; (ii) that the magnitude of the cellular response seen in CS patients is comparable to that encountered in patients with established Bb manifestations; and (iii) that, within a given patient, antibiotic therapy can result in a significant reduction of this response. These results support a causative role of Bb in at least some CS patients. Bb-induced lymphocyte responses were also seen in both seropositive and seronegative erythema chronicum migrans patients. These findings show that the pattern of Bb-specific immune responses is more complex than previously thought, and underscore the importance of lymphocyte function assays in evaluating the diagnosis of potential Bb infection in seronegative patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract A 64-year-old woman presented with extensive erythematous papulosquamous lesions along the lines of Blaschko on the right half of the trunk and the right leg. The clinical and histological features led to the diagnosis of lichen striatus, a dermatosis which usually appears during childhood. Treatment with acitretin led to marked improvement. Lichen striatus and its differential diagnoses – particulary “blaschkitis of adulthood” as first described in 1990 – are discussed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Wir berichten über eine 64-jährige Patientin, die ausgedehnte erythematopapulosquamöse Läsionen an der rechten Hälfte des Rumpfes sowie am rechten Bein im Verlauf der Blaschko-Linien aufwies. Das klinische und histologische Bild führte zur Diagnose eines Lichen striatus, einer Dermatose, die üblicherweise im Kindesalter auftritt. Unter Behandlung mit Acitretin kam es zu einem deutlichen Rückgang der Läsionen. Der Lichen striatus und seine Differentialdiagnosen – insbesondere die 1990 erstmals beschriebene “Blaschkitis des Erwachsenen”– werden diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zum Vergleich der klinischen Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit einer Behandlung des Erythema chronicum migrans mit Phenoxymethylpenicillin und Minocyclin wurde eine offene, randomisierte klinische Studie durchgeführt. 60 ambulante Patienten (25 Männer, 35 Frauen im Alter von 19–80 Jahren) mit Erythema migrans erhielten nach einem Randomisierungsschema entweder eine Behandlung mit Phenoxymethylpenicillin (4,5 Mio IE/Tag für 21 Tage; Gruppe A) oder mit Minocyclin (200 mg/Tag für 21 Tage; Gruppe B). Die beiden Patientengruppen waren hinsichtlich Alter und Geschlecht homogen. Alle Patienten wurden bis zu 12 Monate nach Therapiebeginn nachkontrolliert. In beiden Gruppen kam es innerhalb der Behandlungszeit zur Abheilung des Erythema migrans. Alle 39 über 21 Tage behandelten Patienten zeigten bis zu 12 Monate nach Therapiebeginn keine Zeichen von Spätmanifestationen der Lyme-Borreliose. Hingegen wurden bei zwei Patienten, die vorzeitig die Therapie abgebrochen hatten (ein mit Penicillin behandelter Patient nach 14 Tagen und ein mit Minocyclin behandelter Patient nach 4 Tagen Therapiedauer), während des Beobachtungszeitraumes Müdigkeit und Konzentrationsstörungen beobachtet. 21 Patienten mußten aufgrund eines Therapieabbruches von der Evaluierung ausgeschlossen werden. Vor Therapiebeginn wurde eine humorale Immunantwort gegenBorrelia burgdorferi bei 6/21 Patienten der Penicillin-Gruppe und bei 3/18 Patienten der Minocyclin-Gruppe nachgewiesen. Ein Jahr nach Studienbeginn waren 8/39 Patienten seropositiv. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß Phenoxymethylpenicillin und Minocyclin in der Behandlung des Erythema migrans als gleichwertig einzuschätzen sind, wobei die Therapiedauer über 21 Tage als wesentlich für den Langzeittherapieerfolg angesehen wird.
    Notes: Summary An open, randomized, prospective study was carried out to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of phenoxymethylpenicillin with that of minocycline in the treatment of erythema migrans. Sixty patients (minocycline 30, penicillin 30) were enrolled in the study. The two groups of patients were statistically homogeneous regarding age and sex distribution. IgG and IgM antibodies againstBorrelia burgdorferi were determined by ELISA before and after treatment and 1 year thereafter. Thirty-nine patients completed the study. All these patients (penicillin 21, minocycline 18) who received a 21-day course of treatment were free of clinical symptoms of late Lyme borreliosis after 1 year. Serum antibodies againstB. burgdorferi could be detected before treatment in 6/21 patients treated with penicillin and 3/18 patients treated with minocycline. After 1 year 8/39 patients were seropositive without any evidence of ongoing disease. In the remaining 21 patients treatment could not be completed with the initial antibiotic due to side effects (penicillin 9/30, minocycline 12/30). One patient, who stopped penicillin treatment at day 14 and one patient who stopped minocycline at day 4, developed fatigue and memory impairment within the observation period. A 3-week course of treatment with penicillin or minocycline is equally effective in treating patients with erythema migrans and preventing late symptoms of Lyme borreliosis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In den letzten Jahren wurden verschiedene Therapiekonzepte zur optimalen Behandlung der Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans durchgeführt. Aus einer Gruppe von 46 Patienten erhielten 14 Ceftriaxon 2g für 15 Tage, die übrigen Patienten Penicillin V 1,5 Mill. IE 3×1 oder Doxycyclin 100 mg 2×1 durch 20–30 Tage. Vier der 14 Patienten, die mit Ceftriaxon über nur 15 Tage behandelt worden waren, zeigten bei einer Kontrolle nach 6–12 Monaten eine inkomplette Rückbildung der Hautveränderungen. Zwei von fünf mit Ceftriaxon behandelten Patienten wiesen nach 12 Monaten eine Borrelien-DNA Ausscheidung im Harn auf. Im Vergleich dazu konnten aus dem Harn von sechs Patienten, die orale Antibiotika über 20–30 Tage erhalten hatten, nach dem gleichen Zeitraum keine Borrelien-DNA Fragmente amplifiziert werden. Sechs von 11 Patienten, die oral über 20 Tage behandelt worden waren, mußten jedoch aufgrund anhaltender entzündlicher Hautveränderungen, Neuropathie oder Arthralgien ein zweites Mal therapiert werden. Wir schließen aus den Ergebnissen, daß der Therapieerfolg bei der Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans nicht so sehr von der Wahl des Antibiotikums sondern vielmehr von einer Therapiedauer von 30 Tagen abhängt. Der Behandlungserfolg einer möglicherweise kürzeren Behandlungsdauer mit Ceftriaxon muß noch in weiteren Studien erprobt werden.
    Notes: Summary To determine the most effective treatment for acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, several clinical trials were undertaken in recent years to evaluate whether a 2-week course of ceftriaxone would be superior to oral antibiotics. Of the 46 patients suffering from acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, 14 were treated with ceftriaxone 2g for 15 days. The remaining patients received either oral penicillin V 1.5 million IU t.i.d. or doxycycline 100 mg b.i.d. for 20 to 30 days. Patients were followed up for at least 1 year. Of the 14 ceftriax-one-treated patients four showed incomplete regression of the inflammatory skin changes after 6 to 12 months. Two out of five patients who were monitored forBorrelia burgdorferi DNA excretion were still positive after 12 months as compared to none of six patients who were treated orally for 20–30 days. Six out of 11 patients treated orally for only 20 days needed retreatment after 6 months because of continuing skin manifestations, neuropathy or arthralgia. A 30-day duration of treatment with oral antibiotics and not the chosen antibiotic is crucial for curing acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. The duration of treatment with ceftriaxone needed for eradication ofBorrelia in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans has yet to be determined in future studies.
