                               Buerger disease

Buerger’s disease, also called thromboangiitis obliterans. Buerger's disease is a rare disease of the arteries and veins in the arms and legs; it is an inflammation of small- and medium-sized blood vessels. In this disease, your blood vessels become inflamed, swell and can become blocked with blood clots. The disease is found worldwide and can affect people of any race and age group.

This eventually damages or destroys skin tissues and may lead to contamination and gangrene. Buerger's disease usually first appears in your hands and feet and may eventually affect central regions of your arms and legs. Buerger disease
always happens in individuals who use tobacco, but it isn't known exactly how tobacco plays a part within the improvement of the disease. A few  people may have a hereditary predisposition to Buerger disease.

Buerger’s disease has a solid relationship to cigarette smoking. The initial symptoms of Buerger’s Disease   frequently   include claudication in the feet and/or hands, or pain in these areas at rest. The association of smoking may be due to direct harming of cells from some component of tobacco, or by hypersensitivity to the same components. Buerger’s disease usually starts with pain in the areas affected, followed by weakness. The pain typically begins in the extremities but may radiate to other parts of the body. 

The symptoms include:

·         pain in your hands and feet, or your legs and arms, which may come and go

·         open sores on your toes or fingers

·         inflamed veins

·         pale toes or fingers when in cold temperatures

There’s no vaccine or behaviour alteration that can prevent a individual from creating Buerger’s infection. In any case, stopping smoking can avoid movement of the illness. Buerger’s disease may be a “clinical diagnosis,” meaning there’s no specific test to decide in case you have got the disease. An angiogram is a special type of X-ray that involves a doctor injecting contrast dye into your arteries at the same time as the X-ray is performed. Currently there is no cure for Buerger disease; however there are treatments that can help for controlling it.
