Presentation
Review of the case histories of these patients revealed some atypical clinical features and variability in clinical presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Jaw & Teeth
- Periodontitis
(human diarrheal disease, swine dysentery), and oral treponemes associated with periodontal disease ( 5 – 8 ). The periplasmic flagella of spirochetes have been characterized in detail. [doi.org]
Skin
- Hyperkeratosis
Determination of the causative agent of erythema-like skin lesions in case of nonspecific superficial perivascular dermatitis was supported by histological examination and led to the latter diagnosis of Hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans (Flegel disease [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Extensive ophthalmic and systemic workup, including serologic testing and imaging techniques. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Preferred CSF reflex panel for workup of suspected neuroborreliosis. Mnemonic Unique test identifier. LYMECSFR Methodology Process(es) used to perform the test. [ltd.aruplab.com]
Treatment
Few clinical trials of treatment for Lyme disease have been conducted in children. Most recommendations for the treatment of children are extrapolated from studies of adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
[…] and Chronic Lyme Disease The long-term prognosis for individuals who are treated appropriately with antimicrobials for Lyme disease, regardless of the stage of the illness, is excellent. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What should you tell the family about the patient’s prognosis? Most patients recover fully within 3-4 weeks after appropriate treatment. [infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com]
Etiology
Abstract Despite considerable achievements in the study of localized scleroderma, the etiology of the disease has not been investigated completely. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Crossref PubMed Scopus (4102) Google Scholar Looking at chronic fatigue syndrome from a historical perspective, it is clear that there has been intense interest in identifying the etiology (or etiologies). [amjmed.com]

The pathophysiology of this syndrome is not well understood, although proposed to be an autoimmune based process [ 17 ], the role of ongoing bacterial infection in the process remains under investigation [ 18, 19 ]. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]
