Docs baffled by teen’s mystery condition that causes him to bleed from his eyes, scalp and legs

A TEENAGE schoolboy has some of the world's top doctors baffled - after he started crying BLOOD.

Akhilesh Raghuvanshi, 13, started weeping red tears three years ago and docs have been unable to explain why.

The bizarre ailment was at first restricted to the Indian youngster's eyes.

But it soon spread to his ears, mouth, hairline and leg - and can happen as many as ten times a day.

The youngster, from the province of Madhya Pradesh, said: "I bleed from my eyes, my hands, my head - from everywhere.

"I bleed from my ears, nose and eyes as well. When I bleed from my ears it feels warm.

"It may happen once or maybe ten times in a day. Sometimes, the bleeding will stop and won't happen for months.

"But in the past 15 days I have bled almost everyday.

"It doesn't hurt when the bleeding starts but it makes me tired and sometimes I have headaches."

Akhilesh's parents first dismissed the worrying bleeds as a symptom of dehydration.

But it was soon affecting his everyday life with blood seeping through his trousers as he sat in the classroom.

The teenager's face is often covered in dried blood after another bout of the unexplained condition.

And although India's top docs have given the unofficial diagnosis of haemolacria - a condition that causes blood to mix with tears - they have been unable to give a conclusive answer.

Now, his father Arun has appealed to doctors around the globe to help treat his son.

He said: "I have seen the best of the best doctors in India.

"None of them seem to understand what this disease is and how it can be cured.

"I fear for my child's life now. The medical science must have an answer to it.

"I appeal to the doctors of the world, please intervene and help save my son."
