乐乐今年十岁,是本港数名患有「脑血管屏障葡萄糖输送缺陷」的患者之一,此病发生率低于万分之一。简单来说,葡萄糖是人体脑部主要的能量来源,乐乐因运送葡萄糖的载体产生异常,无法将葡萄糖运送到脑部,导致脑部病变。乐乐一直有学习障碍及间歇小脑性运动失调情况,每个月最少病发八次。发作时,他会走动不稳定,像醉酒一样。每一次病发维持数分钟,通常在肚睋或疲累下发生。妈妈七年来不断带他拜访医生,直到去年玛丽医院怀疑他患有此病, Lele, who is 10 years old this year, is one of a few patients in Hong Kong who suffer from “defects in glucose transport in the cerebrovascular barrier”. The incidence of this disease is less than one ten-thousandth. In simple terms, glucose is the main source of energy in the human brain. Lele causes abnormalities in the carrier that carries glucose and can not deliver glucose to the brain, resulting in brain lesions. Lele has been learning disabilities and intermittent cerebellar ataxia, at least eight times a month. When the attack, he will move unstable, like drunk. Each episode lasts for a few minutes and usually occurs in the stomach or tired. Mama took him to the doctor continuously for seven years until Mary Hospital suspected he was suffering from the disease last year.
