There are many such events seen in this world, which seems almost impossible to believe, and no one can actually predict what will happen here in the very next moment. Something very similar and strange incident was reported in the Sadar Hospital of Aurangabad, Bihar, where a woman has given birth to a child whose entire body is wrapped with plastic. According to doctors, this baby has a very rare disease called collodion disease, due to which his entire body is covered in a plastic-like thing. In the language of medical science, such a baby is called Collodion Baby. Collodion babies are scientifically known as plastic babies. Such babies are born very rarely, occurring only once among every eleven lakh newborns.
According to research, the birth of a collodion baby occurs due to a genetic disorder and the skin of such a baby becomes infected. A collodion baby is born because of an abnormality in the chromosomes (sperm). Normally 23-23 chromosomes are found in women and men. If the chromosomes of both are infected, the baby born maybe a collodion, causing a plastic layer to get covered over the whole body of the baby. Gradually this layer starts to burst, which causes unbearable pain and if the infection progresses then it is difficult to save a life.
In other words, a baby who is born encased in a skin that resembles a tight, yellow, and shiny film or dried collodion, leads to the condition of a plastic baby. In this disease, due to lack of proper development during pregnancy, the skin of the body covering of the newborn becomes very thin, which starts tearing when the newborn laughs, and weeps.
Several colloidal babies have also been born in Amritsar, and three such children have been born within the last seven years. Two of them have already died, while the third one is still undergoing treatment, so doctors are hopeful that this baby, who lives in Aurangabad, will recover and then lead a normal life.
