Marfan’s syndrome is a disease that is included in the group of the no autoimmune collagen diseases, the ca use of this syndrome is a mutation in the gen FBN1 that translate the protein fibrillin 1, that is fundamental besides other proteins like elastin to form a part of the extracellular matrix. This defect generates multiple clinical manifestations due to defects in different systems (skeletal, cardiac, big vessels, gastrointestinal, ocular). The reported case is of a patient who reached adulthood without a diagnosis of the diseases, which we incidentally suspect in the context of community acquired pneumonia.
