A POSSIBLE LATE-ONSET VARIATION OF PAPILLON-LEFEVRE SYNDROME - REPORT OF 3 CASES

THREE UNUSUAL CASES OF PAPILLON-LEFEVRE syndrome with late onset of features and relatively mild periodontal disease are presented. These examples confirm some of the late onset of features and mild periodontal presentation of a previous case report. Bacteriologic associations, polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemotactic, phagocytic, and bactericidal activity, and therapeutics with regard to this syndrome are discussed.
