A father and his son in Rangpur have been found with wart roots developing on their hands and feet -- a rare skin disease similar to that of Abul Bajandar.

A slight young man, with a dirty piece of pink cloth covering his hands resting on his lap, sat outside Dr Samanta Lal Sen's office at the Burn & Plastic Surgery Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). He looked normal until his mother Amena Begum removed the cloth and he brought his feet out from beneath the chair.
