Periodontitis with Abscess
|
|
|
A rare blood disorder where there are abnormally low levels of neutrophils, which impairs that body's ability to fight bacterial infections. Common symptoms include recurring fever, mouth sores, perio and recurring infection.
|
Familial Neutropenia
|
|
|
A rare blood disorder characterized by recurrent periods of extremely low blood levels of neutrophils resulting in frequent infections. Low level usually occur for about 7 days every 21 days. Symptoms include fever, malaise, ulcers in the oral mucosal membranes, enlarged spleen, and joint pain.
|
Cyclic Neutropenia
|
|
|
Chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome. Common physical features include microcenter (abnormally small chin), round face, macroglossia (protruding oversized tongue), congenital heart defects, thyroid dysfunctions, etc.
|
Down Syndrome
|
|
|
An immune deficiency due to a defect in lymphocyte function-associated antigen LFA-1 which facilitates cytolytic t-cell mediated killing and helper t-cell response. Symptoms are recurrent pyogenic infections, pneumonia and poor wound healing due to poor cell adherence.
|
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Syndromes
|
|
|
Extremely rare genetic disorder that becomes apparent between the ages of 1-5. Characterized by development of dry, scaly patched on the skin of palms and soles of feet, in association with severe inflammation and degeneration of structures surrounding and supporting the teeth. It results in loss of most primary teeth by the age of 4 and most permanent teeth by age 14.
|
Papillon Lefevre Syndrome
|
|
|
Inherited through an autosomal recessive gene (both parents contribute for the child to show symptoms) The major defects is and found in certain granules normally found in skin cells and certain white blood cells. Symptoms include a silvery sheen to hair, light colored eyes sensitive to bright light, increased infections in lungs, skin and mucous membranes, temors/seizures, etc.
|
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
|
|
|
Characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of immune cells. Ex: Langerhans Cell Histocytosis, Malignant Histosytosis (T-cell Lymphoma), Non-Langerhans Cell Histocytosis (hemophagocytic syndrome). This often affects the entire body. Symptoms include delayed puberty, fever, metal deterioration, seizures, swollen lymph glands in children, weight loss in adults, etc.
|
Histocytosis Syndrome
|
|
|
A result of defects in the processing of glycogen synthesis or breakdown within muscles, liver and other cell types. It can be genetic or acquired. There are 11 distinct diseases in this category
|
Glycogen Storage Disease
|
|
|
This disease is also know as severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). Alternative names for severe neutropenia (SCN) include: Kostmann's disease or syndrome, infantile genetic agranulocytosis and genetic infantile agranulocytosis. Children born with this condition lack neutrophils or have a low number of neutrophils. As a result of lacking neutrophils, these patients suffer frequent infections from bacteria. Treatment in children usually begins with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF). However, bone marrow transplant is the only therapeutic treatment for this disease.

Infantile Genetic Agranulocytosis
|
|
|
An inherited disorder that affects many parts of the body and is characterized by development delay, intellectual disability, small head size (microcephaly), and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Other features include progressive nearsightedness (myopia), degeneration of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retinal dystrophy, and unusally large range of joint movement (hypermobility), and distinctive facial features. Characteristic facial features include thick hair and eyebrows, long eyelashes, unusally-shaped eyes (down-slanting and wave-shaped), a bulbous nasal tip, a smooth or shortened area between the nose and the upper lip (philtrum), and prominent uppper central teeth. The combination of the last two facial features results in an open-mouth appearance. Additional signs and symptoms in some individuals with this disorder include low levels of white blood cells (neutropenia), overly friendly behavior, and obesity thaqt develop in late childhood or adolescence. When obesity is present, it typically develops around the torso, with the arms and legs remaining slender. Individuals with this disorder may also have narros hands and feet and slender fingers.

Cohen Syndrome
|
|
|
Individuals with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue, the tissue that provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS are the result of faulty collagen. Collagen is a protien, which acts as a "glue" in the body, addint strength and elasticity to connective tissue. It is a hererogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by articular (joint) hypermobililty, skin extesibility and tissue fragility.
|
Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
|
|
|
An inherited metabolic (chemical) bone diseases that results from low levels of an enzyme called alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Enzymes are proteins that act in the body's chemical reactions by breaking down other chemicals. ALP is normally present in large amounts in bone and liver. Symptoms depend on the severity of the skeletal disease; there may be deformity of the limbs and chest. Pneumonia can result if chest distortion is severe. Recurrent fractures can occur. Teeth may be lost prematurely, have wide pulp chambers, and thereby be predisposed to cavities. Treatments as of yet, ther is no cure and no proven medical therapy. Some medications are being evaluated. Treatment is generally directed towards preventing or correcting the symptoms or complications. Expert dental care and physical therapy are recommended.
