Twinkle Dwivedi
Twinkle Dwivedi is a 13-year-old girl from India, who has a baffling blood disorder. Several times a day, she bleeds through the pores on her skin, eyes, nose, hairline, neck and the soles of her feet.1
The disease had a sudden onset in July 2007, when she began bleeding through her mouth, and the symptoms have continued to increase. She has had several blood transfusions to replace the pints of blood she continues to lose.1
A blood specialist in Great Britain, Drew Provan, of Barts Hospital, believes she may have Type II Von Willebrand Disease.1
