Abstract

The term rare disease sounds like something with almost no chance of happening. In fact, even for some common diseases, we do not believe it can happen to us, and of most rare diseases we have never even heard. All affected by these diseases face similar difficulties in their quest for diagnosis and proper guidance by a qualified specialist. Some of these diseases are: elephantiasis, progeria, porphyria, acanthokeratodermia and others.


Keywords
