The two children who live in a suburb at Quetta city suffer from a rare disease. When the sun rises they are bright and chirpy, when it sets they become lifeless.
“I have five children. But only these two suffer from this disease,” said Hashim, their father.
Doctors at Islamabad’s Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where the children have been brought for treatment, are perplexed at this strange case.
PIMS Vice Chancellor Dr Javed Akram said, “This case is a challenge for the entire medical community. We need to first identify their defective genes. Their entire data is being shared with Johns Hopkins University [in the United States] and hospitals for neurological diseases in England.”
Doctors have recommended over 200 tests to the duo they have named as ‘solar kid
Treatment :
According to PIMS Vice Chancellor (VC) and Head of the medical board Dr. Javed Akram, this was the minors’ first night where they behaved and played like normal children. Dr. Javed Akram also lauded Media efforts for highlighting the issue which led to successful treatment of the ‘solar kids’.
Father of the affected children, Hashim, was also overjoyed to see his children healthy and act normal.
The ‘solar kids’ of Quetta were seen playing in the hospital and taking selfies in front of a mirror, proving that they will finally be able to live normal healthy lives.
The children had long suffered from strange symptoms where they seemed to be active, full of life and normal during day time however, as soon as the sun set, their bodies started becoming dysfunctional and they seem to be half dead.
The father of the three children spent many years of his life rejoicing upon the sight of dawn but every sunset used to leave him gloomy. Now at last he will also be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
