To refer to someone, usually from the Mediterranean area, as a Dago is sometimes used as a slur. Over time, its use has softened and is used by some to refer to themselves. In Portuguese, the word Diego refers to a deckhand and perhaps that is the origin of the word.

What causes degos disease?

Hello, I see you are asking "What are the causes for degos syndrome?" Many theories have been proposed as to what is the underlying cause of Degos disease. Three main theories include (1) viral infection, (2) defects in the body's blood clotting ability (primary disorder of coagulation), and (3) autoimmunity, whereby the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
