Mikulicz S Disease

Mikulicz S Disease is a rare disease characterized by damage to the lacrimal and salivary glands. It was first described by the Austrian pathologist Karl Mikulicz in 1892. Mikulicz's disease can manifest itself as an independent disease or as a symptom of another disease.

The main symptoms of Mikulicz's disease are enlargement of the lacrimal and salivary glands, narrowing of the corners of the eyes, the development of conjunctivitis and dry mouth. The cause of the disease may be an autoimmune disease, for example, rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, or the development of a malignant tumor.

To diagnose Mikulicz's disease, various tests are usually performed, such as blood and urine tests, biopsies of the lacrimal and salivary glands, and computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.

Treatment for Mikulicz's disease depends on its cause. If the disease is caused by an autoimmune disease, then immunosuppressive drugs such as corticosteroids, methotrexate or azathioprine are used. If the cause of the disease is a malignant tumor, then it is necessary to surgically remove the tumor, and then undergo radiation or chemotherapy.

Although Mikulicz's disease is rare, it is important to see your doctor if you experience symptoms of swollen tear and salivary glands, dry mouth, or other unusual symptoms. Timely consultation with a doctor can contribute to successful treatment and prevention of complications.



McCulligh's disease, also known as McCulligh's syndrome, is an acute infiltrative adenopathy that occurs in the regional lymph nodes of the throat and chest. It first manifests itself in the form of pain and increased sensitivity in the sternum area. But, as is often the case, the disease can progress and affect several other areas of the body, such as the liver and spleen, or even be fatal.

The first signs of the disease may appear gradually and include symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty breathing, fever and heart pain. If the disease is not treated, it can progress and cause serious
