Scleredema of Buschke following Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infection.

摘要

Scleredema of Buschke (SB) is a scleromucinous connec-1 tive tissue disease of unknown origin characterized by excessive collagen and mucin production by fibroblasts.1"3 The first description of the condition has been attributed to Curzio in 1752. In 1902, Abraham Buschke gave the name "sclera-oedem", to describe a patient who developed the disease following an episode of influenza, and added the term "adultorum" to distinguish it from scleredema neonatorum. Currently, the disease is simply referred to as scleredema, scleredema of Buschke, or Bus-chke's scleredema, as 50% of cases occur in individuals younger than 20 years of age.
