From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.pansupport.org
Polyarteritis Nododa (PAN) is a rare, but devastating autoimmune disease that
affects people world-wide. No cure has been found for PAN, but it's treated
with
a variety of immune-suppressants.
This web site was created when the web designer's mother died from the disease
and he recognized a need for such a resource.
You will find links describing PAN, medical photos, a list of hospitals/clinics
that treat the disease and stories from PAN patients who live with the illness
day by day.
