Fabry Disease Treatment includes ERT (Enzyme Replacement Therapy) which aims to improve quality of life

 

  Fabry Disease is an extremely rare, sexually transmitted disease that is caused by a specific strain of Candida albicans. Only one to two percent of the general population is affected by this disorder. Those who have unprotected sex with multiple partners or who have multiple sex partners are more likely to suffer from this disease than women and men of the same age and gender. Although this condition is chronic, there are many different Fabry Disease treatments available. Since this disease can be difficult to treat, dermatologists may not always have to prescribe medications.

  There are several ways in which this disease could be diagnosed. A physician can perform a simple physical examination and take a culture to look for the presence of yeast. Alternatively, a physician can perform typing tests and order certain tests to look for a particular genetic sequence or to look for the lack of a certain gene. A physician can also use an autologous collagen test (which looks for a similar protein in a sample of tissue from a patient's body) as an early diagnosis method. However, the Fabry disease treatment is not sensitive enough to reveal subtle variations in the disease's development or to reveal if someone has a genetic condition that affects candida development.

  A recently revised diagnostic strategy for Fabry disease treatment uses molecular genetic testing in addition to clinical manifestations and ruling out other diseases. For instance, in October 2021, Protalix Biotherapeutics requested the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of its PRX-102 (pegunigalsidase alfa), a potential Fabry disease treatment. This testing is done on blood samples taken from a patient's lymph nodes or from a cutaneous lesion. The disease manifests through a thickening of the skin and a discoloration of the skin that results in patches of redness or itchiness. Depending upon the severity of the infection, various organs such as the eyes, nose, mouth, and vagina can become infected. Blood tests can also reveal the level of infection in various organs.
