Abstract
Fabry disease is a rare genetic disease caused by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A gene (α-Gal A). Two intravenous enzymes administered every two weeks, agalsidase alfa and beta can slow disease progression and increase survival if administered early, before organ damage occurs. In this case report, we present a patient with a history of anaphylaxis to agalsidase beta who was successfully treated with agalsidase alfa.
期刊介绍:
Archaeology in Oceania is published online and in print versions three times a year: April, July, October. It accepts articles and research reports in prehistoric and historical archaeology, modern material culture and human biology of ancient and modern human populations. Its primary geographic focus is Australia, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and lands of the western Pacific rim. All articles and research reports accepted as being within the remit of the journal and of appropriate standard will be reviewed by two scholars; authors will be informed of these comments though not necessarily of the reviewer’s names.
