latest world news

A girl in Satkhira district of Bangladesh has been revealed suffering symptoms like the 'tree-man disease'. Mukta, 12, is suffering from a illness in which the skin deteriorates to give way to debilitate growths of the same kind to the bark of a tree.

Mukta's father Ibrahim Hossain, a grocery shop holder, told India Today, "There was a minute boil in Mukta's right hand three years ago which little by little spread to the entire arm and resulted in the bump of the arm making it look like a tangled tree. From the hand it is now moving towards her body slowly.

In the last nine years I have got her treated at different places. Seeing no progress, I have come to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. I ask for blessings from all for my daughter's recovery."

Dr Samantalal Sen, chief of Burn and Plastic Unit, told India Today, "At this stage it is not easy to say what kind of illness it is. Initially we were thinking it a skin disease of some order. Could be anything from Pharmal vascular deformity, Limphotic malformation, Neorophibrometosis and Congenital hyper Caratosis. Her physical state is not appropriate for operation as of now. In order to be operated, she will have to stay here for 7-10 day and after that we shall think of surgicalprocedure."

Mukta was admitted at the Burn and Plastic Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Tuesday. An eight-member medical board has been formed for Mukta's healing. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has already taken the responsibility of Mukta's treatment.

Mukta also has a twin sister named Hira.
