After a recent allergy testing,I noticed on my copy of the checkout sheet the dx was hunter/hurler syndrome code 477.9. at my subsequent visit with the dr, it wasn't mentioned and I had not noticed it on the form at that time. Hs dx was chronic maxillary sinusitis. I wld just like to know what the hunter/hurler syndrome is.

I would like to help you better than just providing you links to websites, however I am over 650 miles from home at the moment and I did not bring my textbooks with me, so websites are the best I can do at the moment.

Please see the following

The Canadian MPS Society - History of MPS Diseases (http://www.mpssociety.ca/about/history.html)
Hunter Syndrome (http://rarediseases.about.com/cs/huntersyndrome/a/022204.htm)
Hurler's syndrome (www.whonamedit.com) (http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/1111.html)
ELAPRASE.com | Hunter Patients Community (http://www.elaprase.com/community/default.asp?source=google&ad=hunter_syndrome)

I hope these help you. If not, let me know and I'll see if I can find more. I tried to find some that speak in layman's terms rather than confusing medical jargon.

Hunter-Hurler syndrome, which is an inborn error of metabolism, have excessive deposition of acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) in various organs, and large amounts of chondroitin sulphate B and/or heparitin sulphate are produced in the urine.

Hope this information helps...

Take care
