Primary objective: To obtain data pertaining to the safety and tolerability of alglucosidase alfa and laronidase treatments administered in a home-care infusion setting. Secondary objectives: * To evaluate personal satisfaction of both cohorts of patients treated in a home-care infusion setting. * To evaluate the infusion compliance in both cohorts of patients treated in a home-care infusion setting.
Prospective observation duration for each patient: at least 12 months (from enrollment)

Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as any event which are not present prior to the initiation of the Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) administration in homecare setting or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following initiation of ERT administration in home-care setting.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for each class of severity
TEAEs are defined as any event which are not present prior to the initiation of the ERT administration in homecare setting or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following initiation of ERT administration in home-care setting. An adverse event grading scale of mild, moderate and severe is used for grading of adverse event severity.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Number of participants with serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 1) results in death or 2) is life-threatening or 3) requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or 4) results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or 5) is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or 6) is a medically important event.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) related to alglucosidase or laronidase
TEAEs are defined as any event which are not present prior to the initiation of the ERT administration in homecare setting or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency following initiation of ERT administration in home-care setting. A TEAE is defined as treatment-related if it has a reasonable possibility that the event is related to alglucosidase or laronidase.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Number of participants with infusion associated reactions (IARs)
IARs are defined as AEs that occur during either the infusion or the observation period following the infusion which are deemed to be related or possibly related to Myozyme® and Aldurazyme®. At the discretion of the Investigator, AEs occurring after completion of the post-infusion observation period that are assessed as related may also be considered IARs.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Number of participants with concomitant medications for each Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification systems
Participants will be asked about their use of concomitant medication at enrollment.
Time frame: At enrollment (day 0)
Number of participants with change in the use of concomitant medications in case of non-tolerated infusion
Participants will be asked about their perception regarding any additional medications or treatments or any changes in regimen or dosages compared to their baseline (day 0) state. Any change in the therapy (increased therapy, decrease therapy, no change in therapy) during the study will be reported.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Patient satisfaction
Patient satisfaction data will be collected through a satisfaction questionnaire, including potential benefits in terms of stress, time and costs. The questionnaire aims to evaluate patient satisfaction about home infusion: 1) where do you prefer to receive ERT, home or hospital; 2) why (list of reasons); 3) how do you feel now; 4) if you are in home infusion, how do you rate your health than when you were treated in hospital.
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
Patient compliance
Patient compliance is assessed as number of missed infusions versus planned and/or return to hospital setting (with reasons).
Time frame: For at least 12 months starting from enrollment (day 0)
