A photographic essay of prolidase deficiency

Abstract

Prolidase deficiency is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder characterised by intractable skin ulceration, lymphoedema, recurrent infections and mild intellectual impairment. We have documented the progress of an affected individual over the past 40 years, illustrated by high quality photographs to demonstrate the natural history of prolidase deficiency. © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams &Wilkins.
