A newly born boy who looks like an 80-year-old man has been born in Magura, Bangladesh. The boy who has a rare condition that causes him to age quickly has wrinkles, hollow eyes, a shrunken body and a thick layer of hair on his back. Local doctors were left stunned as to what the cause of his ageing is – but they believe he has progeria. . . . The condition – which affects just one in four million – often restricts children from having a normal life and causes their body to age faster than it should. A doctor, who had been treating him, said: ‘The baby does not look like a new born at all. ‘There are prominent sings of ageing such a excessive wrinkles and rough skin texture.’ . . . Interestingly however, his parents are over the moon with the birth of their ‘miracle’ child and can’t hold back their happiness. Father Biswajit Patro said: ‘We can only thank God. . . . There is no need to be unhappy about the appearance of my son. ‘We will accept him the way he is. We are so happy to have a baby boy in the house. ‘We are already blessed to have to have a daughter. Now we are a family of four. What else can we ask for.’
