Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The course of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is chronic and could lasts for several years.[1]
- Mean duration of the disease before diagnosis was approximately 12 months among 693 patients.[2]
- It can progress slowly overtime.[1]
- It usually start on one extremity and can spread and involve extensor surfaces of the acral regions of limbs.[1][3][4]
- Skin changes first appear as blue and red discoloration with boggy infiltration (inflammatory phase). These inflammatory skin lesions can become atrophic later without treatment (atrophic phase), which resembles the biphasic manner of the disease.[3]
- Based on two studies, 55% and 66% of patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans have at least one history of tick bite, while others may never remember such an accident. Since there could be several years between the tick bite and development of skin lesions, absence of tick bite in patients' history is not meaningful alone.[5]
- One fifth of patients in a study experienced erythema migrans 6 months to 8 years before acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans development.[5][6][4]
- Some of patients reported previous neurological or rheumatological symptoms. Sensory polyneuropathy is the common form of neuropathy in these patients.[2][7]
- Although symptoms of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicansis commonly present as a tertiary manifestation of lyme disease, it could be the first presentation of it in some cases.[8]
Complications
- Common complications of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicansis include:[1][2][9][4][10]
- Superimposed bacterial infection
- Sclerotic skin changes
- Malignancy
- Peripheral neuropathy
- May occur at the site of skin involvement or even at other sites.
- The most common form of peripheral neuropathy reported in these patients was sensory polyneuropathy.
- Based on a study done on 47 patients, the recommended antibiotic treatments for acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans are not effective against neuropathy.
- Arthropathy
- May occur at the site of skin involvement or even at other sites.
Prognosis
- Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans can lead to extensive atrophy of skin and, in some patients it can cause limitation of upper and lower limb joint mobility.[4]
- In contrast to other skin manifestations of borrelia infection, acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans doesn't heal without treatment and is capable of becoming chronic.[11][12]
- The inflammatory phase can last for years and the atrophic phase can last for decades Without appropriate treatment.
- The general pognosis is good with proper and rapid treatment in acute inflammatory stage of acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans.[4]
- The therapeutic outcome is difficult to assess in patients with the chronic atrophic phase because most changes are only partially reversible. For instance there are numerous evidences on irreversibility of peripheral neuropathy in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans patients with antibiotic treatments.[4]
