Description
Zubair Amin and co-authors wrote a case report from 2024 on a boy of five who cannot feel pain or sweat. The rare genetic disorder stems from a fault in a gene that builds pain-sensing nerves. Without pain, harms go unseen and can grow grave. The boy was the third child of parents who are kin.
He came to care with a broken thigh bone. His past held repeat fevers, self-biting, and wounds he never felt. Checks showed ulcers, dry skin, missing finger tips, tooth decay, and sores on the eyes. Nerve tests confirmed the loss of pain and heat sense, and gene tests named the fault. The break was set in a cast from hip to foot. His parents were taught to guard him from harm and heat. The team stresses early diagnosis, gene advice for at-risk families, and care across fields.
