disease

is a dermatopathy characterized by multicolored filaments that lie beneath, are embedded in, or project from the skin, although it was initially considered more of a delusional disorder.

Recent studies have shown that dermopathy is associated with tick-borne infections than dermopathy. The filaments are made of keratin and collagen and result from the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts in the epidermis. Histopathological and molecular evidence of Spira Keadle infection associated with Morgellons disease has been presented in several published studies using a variety of techniques. Spirochetes genetically identified as Borrelia. burgdorferi sensu strict predominates as the infectious agent present in the majority of Gellin skin samples studied so far. Other Borrelia species, including Borrelia Carini, Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia Herms II, have also been detected in skin samples taken from Gelinas patients, the optimal treatment for more Gel disease remains to be determined.
