Abstract

Satoyoshi syndrome is a rare multisystemic disorder characterized by alopecia, diarrhea, muscle spasms, osseous abnormalities, and endocrinopathies. We report a case of Satoyoshi syndrome misdiagnosed as vitamin D-dependent rickets for several years.

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.
