Hypermobile type Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome associated with hypogammaglobulinemia and fibromyalgia: A case‐based review on new classification, diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Hypermobile type Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is an underdiagnosed connective tissue disorder characterized by generalized joint hypermobility, chronic fatigue, widespread joints pain, and impaired quality of life. Here, we reported the first hEDS complicated by hypogammaglobulinemia. New insights into classification, diagnosis, and proper management of hEDS are also reviewed.
