CLOVES Syndrome in the news!
4/7/12
This is the first installment in a special CommonHealth/WBUR series, The Life of Riley: A Rare Girl, A Rare Disease. It’s the story of a remarkable nine-year-old girl born with a one-in-a-million disease that creates increasingly aggressive “lumps and bumps” on and in her body. The only treatment, so far, has been surgery. But right now, at Children’s Hospital Boston, Riley is trying an experimental drug that may—or may not—help her.
In the coming weeks, we’ll get to know Riley and her family. We’ll also meet her medical team, who will guide us through the ongoing research into diagnosis and treatment of a disease like Riley’s. And we’ll find out whether she can continue with her drug trial or her latest symptoms will disqualify her.
