The digestive defects results in diarrhoea and steatorrhoea with a tendency to fat soluble vitamin deficiency. Poor growth is an innate part of the condition and in about 50 per cent of individuals specific skeletal defects are present including metaphyseal dysostosis and a thoracic dystrophy. Diagnosis requires specialist gastroenterological and haematological investigation. Recurrent infection, which may be life threatening, is due to both minor immunodeficiency and neutrophil defects. In about 60 per cent of cases neutropenia is present and this may be cyclical. In severe cases more serious haematological disorder may occur with aplastic anaemia (anemia - US) and myelodysplasia. Rarely, hepatic fibrosis and ichthyotic skin lesions may occur. Treatment is by pancreatic enzyme replacement and multi-vitamin supplements with prophylactic antibiotics to control infection. Haematological and immunological defects may require appropriate specific treatment.

Best viewed @ 1024 X 768 screen resolution Only a few days old. What a hard road this little Angel was to travel. Not because she's mine, but she truly is the most beautiful new born I had ever set my eyes upon! May you light up the WWW with your beauty, Angelica! No flash used when photo was taken ] The First Sound Look of An Angel The Last Sound The Moral of the Story ... If You Made it This Far, Then You Well Diserve a Gift From Shared From My Heart Here I share my Daughter Angelica's story. Sharing this has helped me to close certain doors in my mind, which for some years, were swinging in the wild winds' of life. However, I do hope that this story may help others who come across and take the time to read this. I take the opportunely to ask those who may be grieving lost ones, or who may be feeling pain or helpless due to tragedy, to forward their story on the WWW, or write it down on paper at least. One may shed tears while recalling wonderful and or painful memories of lost ones. Reflect upon this, that tears are nature's way of washing away the pain, while reinforcing the positive attributes shared with those whom you Love and cherish. The First Sound The first sound Angelica heard as she came into this world, was the sound produced by gently blowing a stream of warm air from my lips, into her right ear. After this I expressed a short prayer. This is the way of the Sufi, bringing and welcoming a new born child into this world.

Synonyms Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Pancreatic Insufficiency and Bone Marrow Dysfunction Shwachman-Bodian Syndrome Lipomatosis of Pancreas, Congenital Shwachman-Diamond-Oski Syndrome Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Shwachman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with multiple and varied manifestations. The disorder is typically characterized by signs of insufficient absorption (malabsorption) of fats and other nutrients due to abnormal development of the pancreas (pancreatic insufficiency) and improper functioning of the bone marrow (bone marrow dysfunction), resulting in low levels of circulating blood cells (hematologic abnormalities). Additional characteristic findings may include short stature; abnormal bone development affecting the rib cage and/or bones in the arms and/or legs (metaphyseal dysostosis); and/or liver abnormalities. Due to abnormal skeletal changes, individuals with Shwachman syndrome may have abnormal thickening of the ribs and their supporting connective tissue (costochondral thickening), resulting in unusually short, flared ribs. In addition, improper bone development (abnormal ossification) within the arms and/or legs (limbs) may cause growth delay in particular bones. Many children with Shwachman syndrome may also be smaller than expected for their ages, with below average height (short stature) and weight. Although malabsorption due to pancreatic insufficiency may itself cause problems with growth and nutrition, short stature appears to be one of the many primary manifestations of Shwachman syndrome.
