In addition to it, in some cases blood may also seep from her fingernails and belly button. As her condition deteriorated, she started crying the red fluid, having nosebleeds and suffering hair loss. At her worst, she has bled for up to 15 days and was once left in such a critical condition that she needed a blood transfusion.  But despite hundreds of tests, doctors in her hometown of Veron, in the Dominican Republic, were left baffled. Miss Cedeno said: 'When this started happening to me I didn't know what to think - I was terrified and in complete shock. She says she became so ashamed of her condition that she was terrified of leaving the home she shares with her mother Mariana, 36. She dropped out of school and many of her friends deserted her out of embarrassment or fear that she was contagious. '...

Dr Segun Ajiboye, Chairman of University of Ibadan chapter, said “ Don’t risk the lives of your children, keep them at home because ASUU will not teach.
