Rare health conditions 48: foetal valproate syndrome, familial amyloidosis and Dubin-Johnson syndrome

Abstract

The purpose of this series is to briefly highlight a range of rare health conditions. Rare health conditions are those that affect no more and usually fewer than 1 person in every 2000 and many HCAs and nurses will encounter some of these conditions, given the high number of these conditions. This 48th article will explore three of these conditions: foetal valproate syndrome; familial amyloidosis; and Dubin-Johnson syndrome. It will also focus on disabilities and health conditions caused by certain medical interventions.
