Urgent information requested please:
The patient is a 15 yr old girl who has been diagnosed as a case of
Congenital Ichthyosiform Erytheroderma (CIE) non-bullous type. The
parents are first cousins :-(
The diagnosis was made clinically and the case was described as "mild"
I need some answers to as many as possible of the following questions
please:
- Is there a laboratory way for reaching a sure diagnosis?
- Is there a treatment for the disease?
- What are the possibility of other systemic or organ involvement
either now or later in life?
- What is the prognosis and life expectancy?
- Any where I could get detailed information and support ( like a
society or support groups)?
- Can anyone recommend any particular doctor or institution?
I really appreciate all feedback.
Risk
