<p class="Abstract">Hand-Schuller-Christian disease (HSC) is a rare disease of unknown cause. We report a case of Hand-Schuller-Christian disease with a solitary swelling over left parieto-occipital region of scalp, and increased thirst with polyuria. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the disease will improve the life expectancy.</p>
Although HCV was largely an asymptomatic condition in our clinic population, more than half the patients had biochemical evidence of ongoing liver damage. Given the chronicity of this infection in the majority of patients and the long-term risks of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, children with HCV infection represent a high-risk group worthy of regular follow up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
