| Description |
Plasminogen deficiency is characterized by decreased serum plasminogen activity. Two forms of the disorder are distinguished. Type 1, also called hypoplasminogenemia, is associated with pseudomembrane disease. Ligneous conjunctivitis is the most common of the clinical syndromes associated with plasminogen deficiency, although numerous other organs have been reported to be affected. Type 2, also known as dysplasminogenemia, is characterized by normal, or slightly reduced antigen levels, and absence of clinical manifestations.
