Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, a skin condition linked to Borrelia burgdorferi infection, is reported in two children. These represent the first documented pediatric cases of this manifestation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) is a late manifestation of Borrelia burgdorferi infection.
  • ACA typically affects adults, presenting as skin atrophy on the extremities.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of ACA associated with Borrelia burgdorferi infection were observed.
  • These cases presented with characteristic skin changes of ACA.

Findings:

  • The study reports the first known cases of ACA in children.
  • Borrelia burgdorferi infection was confirmed as the causative agent.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the known clinical spectrum of Lyme disease in pediatric populations.
