- Abstract
This article presents an abstract for the paper "Infantile Systemic Hyalinosis: A Newly Recognized Disorder of Collagen?,"by M.T. Glover, B.D. Lake and D.J. Atherton. The researchers describe four infants who presented in the first few months of life with stiff skin and painful joint contractures. Other features included pearly papules particularly on the face and trunk, pen-anal nodules, hyperpigmentation over bony prominences, gingival hyperplasia, persistent diarrhoea and failure to thrive. Two of these infants died before the age of 18 months. In each case hyaline material was demonstrated in the papillary dermis on light microscopy.
