Overview

Acatalasia (or Takahara's disease) is a peroxisomal disorder caused by a complete lack of catalase. The only apparent abnormality in these people is an increased incidence of periodontal infections. This is NOT a serious disease.

History

In 1948 , Dr.Shigeo Takahara (1908-1994), a Japanese otolaryngologist reported the new disease; to this day it is really only reported within families in Japan.

He had examined a patient with an oral ulcer. He had spread hydrogen peroxide on the diseased part, but oxygen was not generated due to the lack of catalase.
