Natural history of mucopolysaccharidosis type III in a series of Colombian patients

CONCLUSIONS: MPS III is a challenge for diagnosis, particularly in its early stages and in patients in which the course of the disease is attenuated. This is due to its variable course, non-specific early neuropsychiatric symptoms, and the absence of obvious somatic features compared to other types of MPS. After a definitive diagnosis has been made, interdisciplinary care must be provided for the patient and their family, and support given for the treatment of physical symptoms, ensuring the best possible care and quality of life for the patient and their family, as the condition is neurodegenerative.PMID:38482704 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7806.2023281
