84. What's Shwachman's Syndrome? What s shwachman s syndrome? It is a pathological condition, described for the first time by Dr shwachman and by Dr Diamond from http://users.libero.it/aiss/Pag1_ing.html

What's Shwachman's syndrome? It is a pathological condition, described for the first time by Dr Shwachman and by Dr Diamond from Boston in 1964, caracterized mainly by ipoplasia of the exocrine pancreas , low height, disorder of medulla ossium and various alterations to the bones. What does it mean? the ipoplasia of the exocrine pancreas indicates a congenital defect about the development of that part of the pancreas that produces the enzymes to digest food. It follows a pancreatic insufficiency and thus an important defect in digestion and food absorption. This defect is inclined to weaken with the years. Low height is present since birth and it is not corrected by any therapy, eventhough the growth has a regular speed. Dysfunctions of medulla ossium are manifold. As a whole there is a scarce development of the medulla, replaced partly by fatty tissue, with consequent scarce production of red corpuscles , blood platelets and the white corpuscles called "granulociti neutrofili", assigned to the defences of front line against the bacteria. The most frequent defect concerns the neutrofili: we talk about neutropenia, that is usually intermittent or cyclic (in other words goes and comes back). Moreover the neutrofili are generally little moving and thus occur with difficulty where there is infection. The scarcity and hypomobility of neutrofili encourage infections, aboove all in a little child: otitis, bronchial pneumonia, osteomyelitis, infections to the cutis, septicaemia.

Kostmann in 1956, infantile genetic agranulocytosis is characterized by severe neutropenia at birth, frequent infections, increased risk of early death, and autosomal-recessive inheritance. This syndrome is one of the severe chronic neutropenic disorders and is mentioned separately only to highlight this well-described clinical entry. The comments regarding treatment and prognosis of severe chronic congenital and idiopathic neutropenias are applicable to Kostmann's neutropenia. Shwachman's Syndrome Neutropenia with Immune Deficits Myelokathexis Intramedullary destruction of neutrophils appears to be the pathophysiologic basis of myelokathexis. Patients demonstrate moderate neutropenia with morphologic abnormality of the neutrophilic nuclei. The circulating neutrophils are notable for their cytoplasmic vacuoles and for very thin nuclear strands connecting the nuclear lobes, while the bone marrow is hyperplastic with many degenerating hypersegmented granulocytes. Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia Syndrome Short-limbed dwarfism, fine hair, moderate neutropenia, and increased risk of infection characterize cartilage-hair hypoplasia syndrome. This autosomal-recessive disorder is noted most prevalently in the Amish population. Impaired cellular immunity has been noted in some patients. Bone marrow transplantation has been used successfully in at least two patients with this syndrome.

Severe Congenital Neutropenia Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Thrombocytopenia Absent Radii Other Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SD) SD patients have poor food absorption (malabsorption) and low white blood cell counts (neutropenia). Most patients are diagnosed in infancy. Males and females are affected equally. What are the major findings on physical examination? Short stature Problems with bones ("metaphyseal dysostosis", a specific finding seen on x-rays). What is the age at diagnosis? The diagnosis of SD is usually made in the first year of life. What is the pattern of bone marrow failure? Neutropenia (low white blood count; white cells help the body fight off infection) Anemia (low red blood cell count) may develop (often with large red cells) Low platelet count may develop (platelets are the cells in the blood which help the blood to clot) Aplastic anemia is diagnosed when all 3 types of cells (red cells, white cells and platelets) are abnormally low because the bone marrow is not producing them.

Departamento de Gastroenterologia, Hospital del Nino Morelense Macaria Than de Rivapalacio, Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Arch Med Res 2001 Jul-Aug;32(4):318-23 Abstract quote Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS) is an inherited condition with multisystemic abnormalities including pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, neutropenia, short stature, and skeletal abnormalities. In this report, we describe the case of a 14-year-old female with a history of neutropenia, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and pancreatic endocrine sufficiency, pancreatic lipomatosis (10), and the development of myeloid leukemia. Postmortem examination revealed a high probability of SDS. We also describe the clinical findings in the patient's six siblings, suggesting this as a familial form of SDS. Because the gene(s) responsible for this syndrome have not yet been identified, genetic confirmation is not yet possible. This is the first report in the literature of a Mexican family with probable SDS.
