Abstract		The report includes 5 patients in whom Borrelia burgdorferi was isolated from the skin. One patient had typical erythema migrans, another one had skin changes, which corresponded to the early, homogeneous erythema migrans, and two patients had non-specific skin lesions at the site of an insect bite, lasting for several months. Borrelia antibodies were not present in the blood of any of our patients, nor did any of them report a tick-bite. Also described is a case of B. burgdorferi isolated from a granuloma annulare. The isolated Borreliae belong to serotypes 1, 4, and 6.
