Papillon Lefevre Syndrome and Footprints of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a very rare genetic syndrome, and fewer than 500 cases have been reported in the world. Patients exhibit typical cutaneous involvement with hyperkeratosis, especially on the soles and palms, and early shedding of primary teeth. Internal organ involvements, such as liver abscesses, have been described in case reports. This communication represents the first time that genetically documented PLS with footprints of mycobacterium tuberculosis in liver and kidney is reported. T-Lymphocyte transformation Test with PHA was abnormal in this patient.

Palmoplantar keratodermas are a heterogenous group of diseases, one of them is Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome (PLS). This rare disease is inherited as autosomal recessive and characterized by focal hyperkeratotic plaques on elbows and knees, severe periodontal disease resulting in premature loss of teeth. We report two brothers with PLS who did not have a history of this disease in their famil...

Background: Papillon-Lefevre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and early development of aggressive pe-riodontitis. Although cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations have been established in about 70-80% of PLS patients, it is assumed that the patients may have dysfunctioning of immune defense mechanisms. Objective: To assess the associat...

Papillon-Lefevre syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. The clinical manifestations include palmer planter hyperkeratosis with precocious progressive periodontal disease that results in premature exfoliation of primary and permanent dentitions. Patients are often edentulous at an early age. This is a case report of prosthodontic rehabilitation of a 15-year-old girl with Papill...
