Cost-Effectiveness of the Quantification of Enzymatic Activity in Leukocytes in Comparison to Its Nonrealization for a Rare Disease in Latin America: The Case of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II in Colombia

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type II is produced by a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S).
