• Abdominal Mass

  A few days before admission, the mother noted an abdominal mass associated with right upper quadrant pain. The pain, which was dull, achy, intermittent, but not radiating, was not associated with vomiting, diarrhea, or jaundice. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Jaundice

  The pain, which was dull, achy, intermittent, but not radiating, was not associated with vomiting, diarrhea, or jaundice. On physical examination, the child was well developed and well nourished. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Dental Caries

  He was also referred to dental services for dental caries and delayed teething (Figure 3), and to an otolaryngologist to rule out nasal polyps. [cureus.com]

• Decrease in Height

  Premature loss of teeth and loss of alveolar bone had resulted in decreased facial height and a senile appearance in case 1 [Figure 2] b. [jidonline.com]

  Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome: A Report of Three Siblings Author: Muddathir, Abdelkhalig Abstract: We reported an 18 year old Sudanese female patient, Gaali tribe, and another 2 males, brothers ages 10 and 8 years old, presented with diffuse trangrediens palmoplantar [khartoumspace.uofk.edu]

  Format Definition An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar keratosis and severe periodontitis affecting deciduous and permanent dentitions and resulting in premature tooth loss. [uniprot.org]

• Skin Disease

  Keywords: Cathepsin C gene, Papillon-Lefevre syndrome, periodontitis INTRODUCTION Papillon-Lefevre syndrome belongs to a heterogeneous group of skin diseases that are characterized by hyperkeratosis of palms and soles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The role of cathepsin C in the development of dermatological conditions in PLS is still unclear and may explain the nonsignificant correlation between the severity of skin disease and severity of oral infection [5, 7-9]. [karger.com]

• Increased Sweating

  Increased sweating ( hyperhidrosis ) is quite common and there is a tendency to fungal and bacterial infections of the feet. [dermnetnz.org]

• Skin Plaque

  On examination, he was found to have an erythematous hyperkeratotic skin plaques and papules with scales over the planter and palmar aspect of both hands with similar lesions observed on both feet, legs, scalp, and ears with nail pitting. [cureus.com]

• Fear

  Conclusion Even though PLS is an extremely rare condition it is associated with lifelong psychological and social impacts on the growing children such as depression including hopelessness, aimlessness, social phobia, and a fear of communicating with people [hindawi.com]

The initial workup by a private physician included a complete blood count with differentials, liver function test, coagulation profile, urinalysis, and blood chemistry. All were normal. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Staphylococcus Aureus

  The most common organisms associated with dental and liver infections are anaerobic bacteria (such as Actinobacillus actinomycetem comitans) and Staphylococcus aureus (5, 6). [ijp.tums.pub]

  Staphylococcus aureus, sensitive to cloxacillin and vancomycin and resistant to penicillin, was isolated from the liver abscess culture. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

  In these siblings, the inflamed gingiva was the likely point of entry of Staphylococcus aureus that led to bacteremia and subsequently the liver abscess (case 2). [jidonline.com]

• Entamoeba Histolytica

  Serum antibody test for Entamoeba histolytica and E granulosus was negative, as well as stool for ova and parasite. Ultrasound-guided drainage was performed, and 100 mL of thick, yellowish exudate was obtained. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Liver Biopsy

  Liver biopsy showed a granulomatous lesion caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that was confirmed by PCR. Contrary to this study, no serious cutaneous infection was observed. [ijp.tums.pub]

Numerous treatment regimens for the periodontal disease seen in PLS can be found in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Management and treatment Treatment is based on oral retinoids which attenuate the palmoplantar keratoderma and slow the alveolar bone lysis. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Orthodontic treatment in periodontal compromised cases is most challenging, light forces and controlled mechanics are important for adjunctive orthodontic treatment. [jdrntruhs.org]

Cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations are etiologic for PLS. The resultant loss of CTSC function is responsible for the severe periodontal destruction seen clinically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of PLS is multifactorial with genetic, immunological, and microbial factors playing a role in etiopathogenesis. [hindawi.com]

Etiology of Periodontal Diseases (Part 4) provides a more comprehensive background in periodontal anatomy, physiology, and pathogenesis. [books.google.com]

In recent years the possibility that other etiologies may be involved has not been seriously considered. [scienceopen.com]

Etiology PLS is due to mutations in the CTSC gene (11q14.2) that codes for cathepsin C (also known as dipeptidyl peptidase I), a lysosomal protease playing a role in epidermal differentiation and desquamation and in activation of serine proteases expressed [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Epidemiology The prevalence is estimated between 1/250,000 and 1/1,000,000 individuals. The male to female ratio is 1:1. PLS is found in all ethnic groups. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
