“…This is an account of such cases compared with two examples of other types of scleroderma with onset under the age of 16 years, one having diffuse systemic sclerosis of the classic type (Velayos and Cohen, 1972) and one having sclerodermatous fasciitis with eosinophilia as described by Shulman (1974) and Rodnan and others, (1975 In December 1968 this 13-year-old girl noticed that her fingers were going cold and blue, which was followed by swelling of the hands and stiffness of and difficulty in straightening the fingers. On examination in June 1969, the skin was tight over the fingers, forearms, arms, and feet up to the knees, and in some areas minor pitting was obtained on pressure, indicating oedema.…”

The renal lesions of a 5-year-old girl with progressive systemic sclerosis are described. The nephropathy was clinically characterised by moderate proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and transient hypertension. Light microscopy showed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis of segmental character. On electron microscopy intramesangial, subendothelial and extramembranous glomerular deposits were observed. By immunofluorescence miscrosocpy deposit of IgG, Clq, C4, C3, C5, C8 and C9 in a predominantly subendothelial location were found in all glomeruli. Vascular lesions were of minor degree. Histological and immunohistological findings are compatible with an immune complex disease.

A rare case of infantile progressive systemic sclerosis is reported. A Japanese girl suffered from infectious mononucleosis at the age of 1 year 3 months, and 5 months later she developed edema and sclerosis of the skin. She has been followed up for 4 years and now has grotesque features, with contractures of hands and feet due to advanced systemic sclerosis. The relationship between infectious mononucleosis and progressive systemic sclerosis is discussed.
