Abstract

Two cases of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) diagnosed on the basis of their clinical presentation are presented. EDS is a rare genetic disorder involving connective tissue of skin and joints, having a variety of presenting signs and symptoms. There is no specific therapy for this disease but it is important to diagnose it as it may end up in fatal complications.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
