Mastocytosis
Mastocytosis is a group of rare diseases, that is, they suffer from less than one person in two thousand.
Its name comes from mast cells, cells that originate in the bone marrow from where they pass to other tissues and participate in allergic processes, inflammation and also influence the body's defenses.
The cause of mastocytosis is an abnormal increase in the number of mast cells in various areas of the body.
They frequently affect the skin, lesions appear purplish red.
Other organs that may be involved are bone marrow, liver, bones, spleen and intestinal tract.
It is not a contagious disease and, with the exception of a small number of cases, it is not hereditary either.
The Spanish Mastocytosis Association wants to help people with mastocytosis.
