  • Title: [Morbus Wilson--pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, and course (author's transl)].
    Author: Werner JP, Helwig H.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd (1902); 1977 Dec; 125(12):947-52. PubMed ID: 600271.
    Abstract:
    During childhood, Wilson's disease becomes manifest mostly in the hepatic form. In children every case of cirrhosis of the liver, hemolysis with high levels of conjugated bilirubin in the serum, and otherwise in explicable tremor make it imperative to exclude or confirm the existence of Wilson's disease. A false diagnosis often delays the start of therapy with d-penicillamine and low-copper diet. The prognosis, which was still fatal a few years ago, has improved considerably thanks to new therapeutic possibilities.
