What Are the Different Types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, also known as congenital connective tissue dysplasia syndrome, was proposed by Ehlers (1901) and Danlos (1908). It refers to the fragile skin and blood vessels. Skin congenital connective tissue dysplasia syndrome is caused by Ehlers (1901) and Danlos (1908) proposed a group of hereditary diseases with three major symptoms of weak skin and blood vessels, excessive elasticity of the skin, and excessive joint activity.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- Chinese name
- Eller-Donlow Syndrome
- Foreign name
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- Clinical manifestation
- Weak skin and blood vessels; skin is too elastic
- Time period
- Embryo stage

Skin congenital connective tissue dysplasia syndrome is caused by Ehlers (1901) and Danlos (1908) proposed a group of hereditary diseases with three major symptoms of weak skin and blood vessels, excessive elasticity of the skin, and excessive joint activity.
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, namely Eller-Danlos syndrome
- The etiology of this disease is not yet clear. Generally considered to be at the embryonic stage due to the mesoderm
- Pathology confirmed that the connective tissue of the dermis layer in the skin tissue increased, collagen fibers traveled irregularly and broke. Modern biochemical studies have identified intrinsic patients due to lack of necessary enzymes and
- It has 3 main characteristics, namely, the skin and blood vessels are fragile; the skin is too elastic, which can pull out a long skin, and the skin becomes thin; the joint activity is too large, and it can do automatic and passive joint hyperextension. Often secondary infections, sometimes combined with congenital heart disease.
- complication:
- Merge congenital
- Based on clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and other auxiliary tests. as well as
- Laboratory inspection:
- Laboratory inspection
- High protein diet, plenty
- Prognosis:
- Patients with type IV EDS usually die of cardiac complications, most of them die before the age of 20 [1]
- In other subtypes, the life expectancy is mostly the same as that of normal people without other complications.
- prevention:
- Prevent co-infection. Prevent trauma and prevent major bleeding caused by ruptured blood vessels.
- A group of hereditary diseases with excessive elasticity and excessive joint movement. There is no cure for this sign.
- The disease has a genetic predisposition, and fertility is not recommended. [1]
