Focus floating microscopy: "gold standard" for cutaneous borreliosis?

Borrelia burgdorferi is difficult to detect in routine biopsy material from patients with skin lesions of borreliosis. In this study, a new immunohistochemical method, focus floating microscopy (FFM), was developed to detect B burgdorferi in tissue sections and was compared with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). By using standard histologic equipment, tissue sections stained with a polyclonal B burgdorferi antibody were simultaneously scanned through 2 planes: horizontally in serpentines and vertically by focusing through the thickness of the section. Borrelia were detected in 47 of 71 ticks, 34 of 66 tick bites, 30 of 32 erythema chronicum migrans cases, 41 of 43 borrelial lymphocytomas, and 50 of 51 acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans cases. FFM proved to be more sensitive than PCR (96.0% vs 45.2%) and nearly equally specific (99.4% vs 100%). All 169 control cases, except 1 false-positive case of secondary syphilis, were negative with FFM. FFM is an easy, quick, and inexpensive method to reliably detect Borrelia in cutaneous tissue sections.

Gloves and socks syndrome caused by parvovirus B19 infection.

The papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS) is an uncommon dermatosis with a typical purpuric exanthem limited to hands and feet; it occurs mainly in young adults. We report a case of a 19-year-old man with an acute febrile illness accompanied by purpuric and papular lesions located mostly on the dorsal areas of his hands and feet. Serologic analysis for parvovirus B19 yielded positive results. The diagnosis of PPGSS was made. The eruption cleared without therapy in 12 days with plantar and palmar desquamation. Parvovirus B19 and some other viral infections have been proven to be causative agents of this syndrome.
