Abstract

“If some doctor knows about diagnosis and
treatment, for God's sake provide me a guide line to
save my family”. These are the words of cry from a
poor father praying for health from nature.
It is our professional duty to listen to this voice.
One among the authors of this report came across
with this interesting (undiagnosed probably familial
dominant) disorder leading to 4 deaths in a family
and the 5th male child is now presenting the same
symptoms and signs as were found in the previous
four children (including 3 males and one female
child) of different ages usually from less than one
year to about 10-12 years.
