Langerhans Syndrome

Langerhans Syndrome, also known as Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), is a rare disorder where an abnormal increase of Langerhans cells, a type of immune cell, causes damage to tissues and organs. This can lead to various symptoms, including skin rashes, bone pain, and issues with the lungs or spleen. The exact cause is unclear, but it may involve genetic factors. Treatment often includes medications to reduce cell activity and inflammation, and in some cases, more aggressive therapies may be needed. Awareness and early diagnosis can help manage the condition effectively.
