Ectromelia – Abstract
Ectromelia is a congenital condition where long bones are missing or underdeveloped.
Examples include:
- Amelia
- Hemimelia
- Phocomelia
- Sirenomelia
Erythromelalgia – Cause | Mushroom poisoning
The consumption of two species of related fungi, "Clitocybe acromelalga" from Japan, and "Clitocybe amoenolens" from France, has led to several cases of mushroom-induced erythromelalgia which lasted from 8 days to 5 months.
Erythromelalgia – Cause | Possible infectious cause
An epidemic form of this syndrome occurs in secondary students in rural China. In 1987 a virus - erythromelalgia-associated poxvirus - was reported to have been recovered from throat swabs from such an outbreak. The genome of this virus has been sequenced and it appears that this virus is a strain of ectromelia virus.
Since this virus has not yet been isolated from other outbreaks in other parts of southern China to date this putative association should be treated with circumspection.
