,
Abstract
Migratory erythema is the most common manifestation of the first (early) phase of Lyme borreliosis. It is defined as the spreding rash or redness at the site of the tick bite. Although the occurrence of migratory erythema indicates the presence of local infection with pathogenic strains of bacteria from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, the exact mechanism by which spirochetes conductspreading in human skin has not been elucidated. This paper will review the literature, initially related to tick-pathogen-host interaction, after which the most common theories of the development of specific morphology of migratory erythema will be presented, as well as differential diagnostic problems that may arise from infection with other pathogens or the development of various allergic and autoimmune conditions.
