Study on Localized Scleroderma, Associated with Lyme Disease | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

Localized scleroderma (morphea) is a chronic, long-term disease characterised by a connective tissue lesion in the skin with a predominance of fibro-sclerotic and vascular complications. The current study included 40 individuals who completed a questionnaire and underwent a laboratory check. The people that were tested ranged in age from 18 to 74 years old. The severity index of localised scleroderma associated with Lyme disease was lower in responders alone with morphea due to skin thickness. As a result, dermatologists from all over the world, not just from Ukraine, are paying more attention to the issue of our research.
