No.

Klee suffered from a wasting disease, scleroderma.

The scientific or taxonomic name would be Scleroderma geaster.

The type known as localized scleroderma mainly affects the skin. Systemic scleroderma, which is also called systemic sclerosis, affects the smaller blood vessels and internal organs of the body.

The cause of scleroderma is still a puzzle.researchers do not know why it occurs.Some claims of a scleroderma-like illness have been made by women with silicone breast implants, but a link has not been proven in numerous studies.

There are two major forms of the disorder. The type known as localized scleroderma mainly affects the skin. Systemic scleroderma, which is also called systemic sclerosis, affects the smaller blood vessels and internal organs of the body.

Certain medications, especially a drug used in cancer treatment called bleomycin (Blenoxane), may lead to scleroderma

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disorder which primarily affects the skin. While the precise cause of scleroderma is not fully understood, there is evidence which suggests genetic involvement.

The first thing to do is get a Rheumatologist that knows about Scleroderma. It's treated by the symptoms that one has. Everyone that has Scleroderma has symptoms in common, but no one really has all the same symptoms as another. I have Scleroderma, and I see my Rheumatologist primarily, but also see a Gastroenterologist for my "tummy" problems, a hand surgeon for my Raynauds problems, sometimes a Dermatologist. Your Rheumatologist will lead you in the right direction.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune skin disease that can either be found in systemic or localised forms. The systemic kind can be identified by the thickening and tightening of the skin and connective tissue. Localised symptoms of Scleroderma are similar to Schlerosis, where patches of hard, and sometimes scaly skin become visible.

Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the skin and can also involve other organs such as the blood vessels, lungs, and digestive system. It causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues.

Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a hardening or sclerosis in the skin or other organs. The localized type of the disease, known as "morphea", while disabling, tends not to be fatal. The systemic type or systemic sclerosis, the generalized type of the disease, can be fatal, as a result of heart, kidney, lung or intestinal damage. It is currently not fully understood what exactly causes this disease, although there are various theories.

Yes

Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis)

Certain chemicals such as silica, organic solvents, and vinyl chloride have been linked to an increased risk of developing scleroderma. However, the exact cause of scleroderma is still unknown and likely involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

scabies, scleroderma, shingles

scleroderma

A disease of adults, characterized by a diffuse rigidity and hardness of the skin.

Systemic scleroderma, which is also called systemic sclerosis, affects the smaller blood vessels and internal organs of the body. Systemic sclerosis-- A rare disorder that causes thickening and scarring of multiple organ systems

Some common symptoms of scleroderma can include an overreaction to exposure to cold even at small temperature increases. More common symptoms can include a hardening of the skin caused by it becoming tightened in spots.

Oh, dude, localized scleroderma is like when your body's immune system goes, "Hey, let's mess with this person's skin!" So, it starts attacking the connective tissues, making them all hard and thick. It's like your skin decided to put on a suit of armor for no reason.

Malignant hypertension causes death in approximately 30% of cases

Melanoma, scleroderma, or epidermolysis bullosa, to name a few.

One alternative therapy that some naturopaths have used in treating patients with scleroderma is superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme used in its injectable form. More research, however, needs to be done on the benefits of this treatment.
