I was asked for some information on the subject listed above and we wanted to share in case it comes up again.
"Borrelia burgdorferi-the agent of Lyme disease-is suggested to be one of the possible etiological factors of localized scleroderma."
"There is some research support for the idea that a subset of scleroderma patients may have mycoplasma or bacterial infections as a possible trigger for their scleroderma. "
"This case suggests that Lyme disease should be considered in atypical cases of skin sclerosis in patients predisposed to the development of systemic scleroderma."
"Recent studies suggest a possible association between localized scleroderma, lichen sclerosus and Borrelia burgdorferi."
"Positive levels of anti-Borrelia antibodies in patients with localized scleroderma confirm the borreliosis nature of the disease, requiring conduction of complex antimicrobial treatment."
