Twinkle Dwivedi - Can Bleed Spontaneously From the Pores of The Skin, Without Being Cut / Scratched at All
Twinkle Dwivedi - On the age of 13 years, a girl should be playing happily with her friends. But a pretty girl in India, shunned by her friends, because she has a rarity. Dwivedi, who has three sisters, lived with his family in the city of Lucknow, the Almbagh, Uttra Pradesh state, India. She can bleed spontaneously from the pores of the skin, without being cut or scratched at all. Previously, she was a normal girl, but the incident in July 2007 changed everything. Suddenly, blood flowed from her mouth. The doctor said that it was nothing dangerous, but a few weeks later, she began to bleed as much as 5 to 20 times a day from pores at the bottom of the hair, nose, eyes, and feet. After that she had to do blood transfusions every time the blood flowing out of her body.
Can you imagine this girl suffering? "Scary and chaotic. My school shirt turns red. No one would come near me or play with me. I used to cry every time it happens. But now I can only try to be calm" Dwivedi said.
Doctors in India can not find the disease suffered by this girl. They said, Dwivedi has dilute blood and has a red color like a young wine, but they can not find a drug to make the blood coagulate. However, there is hope after a British hematology consultant said there is a cure for the disease. Dr. Drew Provan, from Barts Hospital in London, said this girl may suffer of Von Willebrand disease type II. It’s a reduction of a protein called Von Willebrand factor which is important during the early stages of clotting. I really hope Dwivedi has been cure right now.
The Real Blue People from Kentucky USA
Have you ever heard the myth about the "Blue People"? Legend of the blue man occurred in various parts of the world. In Egypt, the ancient Egyptian God who named Ammon, often depicted in blue. In India, the God Krishna is described as "handsome young man with dark skin and shining like overcast sky (dark blue)". While the God Vishnu is described as blue-skinned and has 4 arms. Another story comes from Norway. A small island called Formork Oy whose residents are mostly fishermen, have a record of the legend of the blue man. When they were sailing, they see a strange dark boat. People in that boat were tall, wearing bright clothes, and have bluish skin color. The fishermen called them as Delvar Nar. In the Cherokee Indian legends, before they occupied the territory, their area once inhabited by blue-skinned humans. The Cherokee called them as "man moon".
Enough about the legend, because the blue people are real. Starting from the French immigrants Martin Fugate, he moved to Kentucky in 1820. Martin married an American woman named Elizabeth Smith. They have 7 children, 4 of which are blue-skinned. Their offspring marry their close relatives. Sometimes they married first cousins or people who live closest to them, such as the Combses, Smiths, Ritchies, and Stacys. All of them are live in isolation from the world. So it was natural that a boy married the girl next door, even if she had the same last name.
They became the world's attention, when in the 1980s, the 9th generation of the family Fugates gave birth to a son named Benjy. When Benjy was born blue and made panic of medical team. After done various tests, the doctors found no disease in the baby. The only clue is when Benjy's grandmother said "Have you ever heard of the blue Fugates of Troublesome Creek? My grandmother Luna on my dad's side was a blue Fugate. It was real bad in her”.
Apparently , the Fugates’s descent born with the condition of methemoglobinemia. The American Heritage ® Medical Dictionary states methemoglobin is "a brownish-red crystalline organic compound formed in the blood when the hemoglobin is oxidated either by decomposition of the blood or by the action of various oxidizing drugs or toxic agents. It contains iron in the ferric state and can not function as an oxygen carrier. "Because the circulating blood is less oxygenated those with the disorder appear various shades of blue, depending on how seriously they are affected. But with medical treatment, methemoglobin can be cured. The blue dye (methylene blue ) have to be injected into the blue people clan, so they would revert to a natural skin tone. The doctors claim that in 1982 only two of three family members had methemoglobin. And they’ve been sorted by now.
