越来越明显的是，感染伯氏疏螺旋体的临床表现在世界不同地区之间差异很大。越来越多的欧洲和亚洲莱姆病疏螺旋体分离株，不同于美国的伯氏疏螺旋体菌株，已被确定在几个不同的疾病。鉴于越来越多的报告描述了各种皮肤疾病和伯氏疏螺旋体感染之间的关联，以及仍然存在争议的伯氏疏螺旋体在这些疾病中的真正致病性，本文献综述评估了这些报告在证实这些假设方面的意义，因为这些关联在诊断和治疗方面都很重要。
It is becoming increasingly evident that the clinical presentation of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi varies greatly between different parts of the world. A growing number of European and Asian isolates of Lyme borreliae, differing from the American strain of Borrelia burgdorferi, have been identified in several different disorders. In light of the increasing number of reports describing an association between various cutaneous disorders and infection with Borrelia burgdorferi and the controversy that still remains over where Borrelia burgdorferi is truly pathogenic in these diseases, this review of the literature assesses the significance of these reports in substantiating these hypotheses, as such associations are important both diagnostically and therapeutically.
