Morgellons disease is a rare disease with unknown etiology. Herein, we report the
first case of Morgellons disease in Korea. A 30-year-old woman presented with a
2-month history of pruritic erythematous patches and erosions on the arms, hands,
and chin. She insisted that she had fiber-like materials under her skin, which
she had observed through a magnifying device. We performed skin biopsy, and
observed a fiber extruding from the dermal side of the specimen.
Histopathological examination showed only mild lymphocytic infiltration, and
failed to reveal evidence of any microorganism. The polymerase chain reaction for
Borrelia burgdorferi was negative in her serum.
