Hunter Syndrome (MPS II): an uncommon combination of childhood complaints
Learn about a mum’s journey to her child’s diagnosis of Hunter syndrome – a rare genetic disorder that mainly affects boys.
A child may not show any signs of Hunter syndrome until after the first years of life. However, signs become increasingly visible as the child ages, such as regular ear infections, a hernia and developmental delays.
The signs are common childhood complaints on their own; however, if a child experiences an uncommon combination of these symptoms, this could indicate Hunter syndrome. If you are concerned, ask your doctor about Hunter syndrome.
