Boy catches fire on his own

Two years before, it was 50 days old boy who was caught with flames on his body. This boy drew the attention and posed a challenge to the doctors with his rare disease. Now his brother who is just nine days also complained of similar symptoms. The medical term for this rare disease is 'Spontaneous Human Combustion' [SHC].

The baby has been admitted in Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital [KMCH]  where a team of five doctors are monitoring the kid and according to the doctors, the baby suffered burns on his wrist and legs.  The mother of the kid, Rajeshwari claimed that the baby is on January 9 and on 15th she saw fire on the baby. The doctors who earlier treated Rajeshwari's elder son with similar disease said, the kid might be a victim of parents or relatives abuse or patient in instances of Munchausen by proxy syndrome, a pattern of systematic harm that is a major cause of child death.
