Thibierge-Weissenbach syndrome.

Abstract

Systemic diseases of the connective tissues occur either separate or combined with other collagenoses. Sometimes it is hard to define the clinical unit exactly and therefore these states are called overlap syndromes or close syndromes. One of such collagenoses coinciding with these diseases is calcinosis. It is most often found in children but rarely in adults. The subject of the present study are problems of the diagnosis and the current possibilities of treating calcinosis.
