What is Degos Disease?

No Comments | Posted in Blood at April 20th, 2010

I know about Degos disease at first time from the health related TV series, House, M.D. I was curious what the definition of this disease. So I was searching from internet and finally found some information.According to the internet (from various sites). Degos disease looks to be a disease of the blood vessels, we can say this is  a thrombotic vasculopathy. Cells in the linings of the walls of the medium and small veins and arteries under the skin swell when they become inflamed. This is very dangerous disease because it influences the blood fluid flowing.  This disease makes the blood flow to be limited and sometimes it creates barrier for flowing. Sometimes Degos disease affects blood vessels in other parts of the body. Generally, the gut, the central nervous system or the eyes are involved.

The movie series told me that this diseases is genetic based so there is  no cure for this one. Is that right? or may be there is a cure for this one? Share with us if you know how to find treatment solution for Degos Disease.

Based on that fact I realize we can learn about health from movie. It means we can get double effect as the part of our life. I am sure you will understand how it will be.
