Muscular Dystrophy occurs worldwide, affecting all races. Its incidence varies, as some forms are more common than others. It’s the most common form of disease amongst children.Duchenne muscular dystrophy, affects approximately 1 in every 3,500 to 6,000 male births each year according to the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USA.
In India also, a rising number of cases of muscular dystrophy have been reported having an occurrence of 1 in 3,500 male births each year.Some types of Muscular Dystrophy are more prevalent in certain countries and regions of the world. Many muscular dystrophies are familial, meaning there is some family history of the disease.
Dr Alok Sharma Professor & Head of Neurosurgery, LTMG Hospital & LTM Medical College, Sion Mumbai and Director NeuroGen Brain & Spine Institutesaid“There is very little awareness about muscular dystrophies amongst our people. In smaller towns and villages, most people have no idea about the disease.
Several people even confuse DMD with polio for a long time after the child starts showing the first symptoms. Many even end up trying herbal remedies, thinking they will cure the children”.
Dr RichaBansod, Head Surgical Services, Neuro Gen Brain and Spine Institute said“Muscular dystrophy is a progressive condition, which is severely debilitating and affects the individuals’ life span and quality of life.
In fact, Duchene muscular dystrophy is termed as an incurable disease that cuts young lives short. The incurable disease causes a progressive degeneration process of the muscles, resulting in decreased mobility, breathing problems, heart failure and, ultimately, a premature death.”
