We report on a previously apparently undescribed Puretic syndrome-like self-limited autosomal recessive disorder with onset in infancy and running its course by 11 yr in five sibs in a Kirghizian family with recurrent skin ulceration, arthralgias, fever, fistulous osteolysis around joints, oligodontia, nail dystrophy and keratitis with visual impairment or blindess in three of the five affected sibs. Affected hands and feet acquire a pseudoacromegalic appearance; fingers become clawed; involvement of growth plates around knees may lead to asymmetrical shortness with secondary scoliosis. Slow but normal healing during and after the course of the disease leaves severe cicatrization and chronic arthroses. No other organ system is involved, intellect is normal, and health and reproductive capacity are otherwise unimpaired. We propose the name Kirghizian dermatoosteolysis for this condition.
