      bleeding time.

AB  - We report on a case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, probable type VIII (EDS VIII) in a 
      6-year-old girl with severe periodontitis, extensive bruising of the shins, 
      abnormal bleeding time, and thin body habitus. The structure and biosynthesis of 
      types I and III colagen were normal. Desmopressin (DDAVP) was found to correct 
      the bleeding time, and the patient underwent an uneventful dental procedure after 
      DDAVP therapy. The finding of childhood or juvenile periodontitis should prompt 
      consideration of a diagnosis of EDS, particularly type VIII, and alert the 
      clinician to the possibility of a treatable bleeding abnormality.
