Progressive loss of subcutaneous fatty tissue, usually occurring in the wake of infectious diseases, initially localised and later possibly generalised. The disease can also occur as a precursor of lipatrophic, insulin-resistant diabetes after a few years of disease progression. In our opinion synonymous with Lawrence syndrome as acquired generalized lipodystrophy.
