There are two types of localized scleroderma: Morphia (hard, oval shaped patches on the skin. The patches usually are whitish with a purplish ring around them.) Linear (lines or streaks of thickened skin in areas such as the arms, legs or forehead.) Generalized scleroderma may affect many parts of the body.

43. Section Of Rheumatology Information for patients, physicians, and medical professionals on arthritis, gout, lupus, scleroderma, and related diseases and disorders. http://rheum.bsd.uchicago.edu

The Section of Rheumatology is a dynamic and growing enterprise of approximately forty faculty, staff and fellows who are committed to providing outstanding state-of-the-art patient care, understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and training the next generation of physicians and scientists. The Section was recently named one of the top twenty programs in the country by US News and World Report. Through our disease-focused clinics we offer an inter-disciplinarily approach to patient care that provides access to the most current therapies and to the resources of the University. In parallel with our clinical activities, we have well-developed basic science research programs where our primary focus is on understanding the development and regulation of lymphocytes which is fundamental to the pathogenesis of most autoimmune diseases. These are exciting times in Rheumatology. Remarkable advances in our knowledge of basic immunology are beginning to translate into new and better treatments for those suffering from autoimmune and metabolic diseases. The Section is well poised to both take advantage and contribute to these revolutions in the understanding and treatment of rheumatic diseases.

June 11, 2004 EDT Skin Deep: Understanding Scleroderma and Raynaud's By Paul Tam Scleroderma is a fairly common skin condition that affects the blood vessels, immune system and connective tissue. In severe cases, it can affect mobility and limb growth. The name is derived from the Greek meaning "hard skin". The skin, usually on the hands and feet, becomes stiff, tight and shiny as a result of swelling and thickening connective tissue. There are several forms of scleroderma, including "morphea" scleroderma. This type, which affects mostly children, is characterized by patches of inflamed skin. With "linear scleroderma", tissue below the skin is affected. If muscle and bone are afflicted, mobility and limb growth problems develop. Raynaud's: Prevalent in Women Raynaud's can affect any age group but appears to be more prevalent in women. A Raynaud's attack is often triggered by exposure to the cold or by touching cold objects. Blood flow to the hands and feet, in particular, becomes temporarily interrupted as the supply arteries there spasmodically contract. Fingers and toes take on a white appearance before turning blue and eventually bright red. Sufferers can feel numb and tingling sensations and some experience a great deal of pain. The condition afflicts people in different ways: In some people, it affects the hands and can make it difficult to stretch the fingers. In others, it covers the skin on the body, face and arms.

TCM Hospital: Scleroderma And Traditional Chinese Medicine In China Scleroderma is a kind of skin disease of connective tissue caused by sclerosis of the skin. It is divided into two types: localized and systemic types. Generally, it undergoes through three stages, red swelling, sclerosis and atrophy. At the advanced stage, the affected skin will be adhered to the deep tissue and produce functional disturbance of corresponding organs. This disease is called (scleroderma). Main Points of Diagnosis Localized Scleroderma 1. Skin Lesion: Part of the skin has a sensation of burning heat and itching, then slightly elevated patches in red or purple color. The lesion may be tenioid or elliptical in shape, and its border is clear with purple halos around them. The central part is sunken and then the color of patches will become yellow, brown and pale. The skin will be indurated and adhesive to the subcutaneous tissue, then the cleavage lines will disappear. Its surface is smooth and then will become atrophied and thin, and will lose elasticity. There are branny desquamations and pigmentations on the skin lesion. 2. Symptoms and Signs: At first the patient may have an unusual feeling or a sense of itch, then the skin becomes blunt and insensitive.

united scleroderma foundation inc. New Mexico Chapter About Scleroderma WHAT IS SCLERODERMA? Scleroderma literally means "hard skin" and is pronounced skler-o-derma. Scleroderma is classified as a disease of the vascular and immune systems, and a severe connective tissue disorder. It results in fibrosis (hardening) of the skin and multiple organs. Scleroderma can range from a minor skin lesion to a debilitating and fatal disease. There are two major forms of scleroderma: LOCALIZED - which affects the skin, subcutaneous tissue and occasionally muscle and bone SYSTEMIC - which strikes the esophagus and internal organs as well as the skin and is life threatening. WHO GETS SCLERODERMA? Although scleroderma strikes every age, sex and ethnic background, four times more females, between the ages of 25 and 55, are afflicted with scleroderma than males. The frequency increases with age in both sexes. Scleroderma is far more prevalent than muscular dystrophy or multiple sclerosis. HOW MANY PEOPLE SUFFER FROM SCLERODERMA?
