Mystery flesh-eating virus rots man's face for 10 years - while he's still alive

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS VERY GRAPHIC CONTENT - The full extent of the
man's injuries are revealed. A man is finally being helped by top medical
professionals after a mystery disease has eaten away most of his face.

The
man, who lives in Saigon, in southern Vietnam, has had the condition
for more than 10 years but was unable to get a diagnosis from doctors.

But after his story was shared by local media, a top medic has now agreed to take on the case.

The
mystery virus has caused him to lose the roof of his mouth and nose but
also his eyes.The wife of Huynh Van Dat, 51, said although he could no
longer eat properly or speak, his mind was still perfectly strong and he
was well aware of the horrific fate he has been suffering from since
the strange condition started 11 years ago.

Huynh Thi Trieu said
her husband's condition first manifested in 2004, when he began getting
nosebleeds that occurred up to three or four times a day.


She
said: "He was taking traditional medicines but they didn't make any
difference, and then he also started to have problems with his eyes
which were constantly watering."

Dat went to Hoa Hoa Hospital in
Saigon for examination where doctors realised there was a problem with
his nose partition which was diagnosed as a deviated nasal septum, and
immediately operated on it.But it did not seem to slow the pace of the
disease and a year later the poor man discovered that whenever he drank
water, it ran into his nose through a hole in the roof of his mouth.

Several months later, the hole got bigger and spread to the nose partition.

In
a panic, Dat went to Van Hanh Hospital, where doctors said he suffered
from nose bridge failure and performed a second surgery - which, again,
did nothing to help.

Dat then saw doctors at the Pharma University and the Vietnam-France Hospital.

They
all said that he had had nose bridge failure which was a disease that
could be cured, but at a cost that he could not afford.

He
continued to pay what he could but when the money ran out, he returned
home once again and tried to get by using traditional medicine based on
herbs he could find locally.His wife said: "The disease which started
with a hole in his nose simply grew and it ate his nose, upper jaw and
his eyes. There is no bleeding, but when he could still talk he had told
us it was incredibly painful."

He now lies on a bed because he
is blind, and the only senses that were left after he lost the ability
talk or eat properly were the ability to touch and hear.

But
after the story and pictures were published in local media, a team of
medics visited him and promised to do what they could to help in order
to ease his suffering.

The reports did not indicate when the
treatment would start or whether there was any hope of repairing any of
the horrific damage.

The most chilling bit was that when he could still talk, he said it was painful. And it sounded like he was crying in the video. :(
That poor, poor man.

I couldn't watch it, too pitiful. Could it just be cancer? Poor soul.

One thing I would definitely not do is: Touch him, then rub my face. That womans tears may turn into victim #2.
