| http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/20..._470x310,0.jpg A FISHERMAN who feared that he would be killed by tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope by an American doctor — and vitamin A. Dede, now 35, baffled medical experts when warty "roots" began growing out of his arms and feet after he cut his knee in an accident as a teenager. The welts spread unchecked, making everyday household tasks impossible. Sacked from his job and deserted by his wife, Dede has been raising his two children — now in their late teens — in poverty, resigned to the fact that local doctors had no cure. To make ends meet he even joined a local "freak show", parading in front of a paying audience alongside victims of other peculiar diseases. Although supported by his extended family, he was often a target of abuse and ridicule in his rural fishing village. But now an American dermatology expert claims to have identified his condition, and proposed a treatment that could transform his life. After testing samples of the lesions and Dede's blood, Dr Anthony Gaspari, of the University of Maryland, concluded that his affliction is caused by the human papilloma virus, a fairly common infection that usually causes small warts to develop. Dede's problem is that he has a rare genetic fault that impedes his immune system. The virus was therefore able to "hijack" the cellular machinery of his skin cells ordering them to produce huge amounts of the substance that caused the tree-like growths known as "cutaneous horns" on his hands and feet. Dede's counts of a key type of white blood cell are so low that Dr Gaspari initially suspected he may have the AIDS virus. But tests showed he did not. Dede's condition was something far more mysterious. Warts aside, he had enjoyed remarkable good health throughout his life.Dr Gaspari, who became involved through a Discovery Channel documentary, believes that Dede's condition can be largely cleared up by a daily doses of a synthetic form of vitamin A, which has been shown to arrest the growth of warts in severe cases of human papilloma virus. "He won't have a perfectly normal body, but the warts should reduce in size to the point where he could use his hands," Dr Gaspari said. "Over the course of three to six months the warts should become smaller and fewer in number. He will be living a more normal life." After that, the most resilient warts could be frozen off, and the growths on his hands and feet surgically removed. "I've never seen anything like this in my entire career," Dr Gaspari said. |

J'ai trouvé un article en français (tu aurais pu choisir un autre titre): Un rarissime "homme-arbre" en Indonésie Un villageois indonésien surnommé "l'Homme-arbre" en raison des verrues géantes qui lui couvrent le corps comme de l'écorce pourrait se voir interdire de partir aux Etats-Unis pour y être soigné, selon un journal indonésien. Dede, 32 ans, a les membres et le visage recouverts d'excroissances grises bourgeonnantes, ses mains ayant même complètement disparu sous ce qui ressemble à un massif corallien d'une trentaine de centimètres de diamètre. "Monstres" humains Sa pathologie rarissime, qui l'empêche d'exercer un emploi normal, lui a valu un passage ce mois-ci dans un documentaire de la très sérieuse chaîne Discovery Channel. Il a également fait l'objet d'un article et de vidéos dans le journal britannique "Telegraph". Il a aussi été recruté par des forains indonésiens qui présentent un spectacle itinérant de "monstres" humains. Pas de prélèvement de sang Des médecins américains ont proposé de tenter de le soigner aux Etats-Unis, mais le gouvernement indonésien y serait opposé. "Nous sommes décidés à ne pas les autoriser à emmener Dede aux Etats-Unis", a déclaré Lily Sriwahyuni Sulistiyowati, porte-parole du ministère de la Santé, citée par le quotidien Warta Kota. "De plus, les gens comme Dede qui vivent dans des petits villages ne souhaitent pas être emmenés loin, surtout pour donner des échantillons de sang. Normalement les villageois n'autorisent pas aisément les étrangers à analyser leur sang", a-t-elle ajouté. Contactée par l'AFP, la porte-parole a refusé de faire des déclarations supplémentaires sur le cas de Dede. afp/tac http://info.rsr.ch/fr/news/Un_rariss...=1195589422000 http://www.lematin.ch/var/plain/stor...1/67677201.jpg http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3h...e-arbre_travel |
