Burger's Disease

Buerger's disease (L. Buerger, 1879–1943) is a disease caused by inflammation and thrombosis of small and medium-sized arteries, with a predominant lesion of the femoropopliteal segment.

The disease is also called Winivarter's disease.

The disease was first described in 1913 by the German surgeon Ludwig Bührer. In 1920, the American surgeon Leonard Winivarter added to the description of the disease and proposed the term “burger disease.”

The disease is manifested by pain, swelling and redness of the skin, fever, general weakness and malaise, impaired sensitivity and mobility in the legs.

The cause of the development of the disease is inflammation and thrombosis of the arteries, which leads to disruption of the blood supply to the extremities and the development of tissue ischemia.

Treatment of the disease includes drug therapy, surgery and physical therapy. In some cases, limb amputation may be necessary.

Burger's disease is a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment.
