Oral Pathology - 3 Questions
Myositis ossificans generalisata (fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva) causes progressive ossification of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, leading to a "petrified" or stone-like condition where the patient becomes immobilized. This rare genetic disorder progressively restricts movement as soft tissues calcify. Dystrophic myotonia, dermatomyositis, and proliferative myositis do not cause this petrification process.
Explanation: Prodromal symptoms are early signs that precede the full onset of a disease. In the case of viral fevers, patients often experience nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, fatigue, and low-grade fever 1 to 2 days before the more specific symptoms of the viral infection appear.
The most probable etiology for the mans symptoms is Diabetes mellitus, given the signs of abscesses and polyuria.
