现实版“睡美人”可连续昏睡两月
<p>因患有罕见的克莱恩－李文综合症，21岁的英国女孩莉莉常常会昏睡不醒，最严重时曾经连睡两个月，成为现实版的“睡美人”。据莉莉的母亲介绍，她第一次发病是在2007年11月，全家出去滑冰后到一家饭店吃饭，莉莉没等餐点上桌就睡着了，之后一直睡了将近一个月，每天睡23个小时。之后的几年间，莉莉因为长睡不醒而错过了生日、学校考试、圣诞节、新年等很多人生重要日子。莉莉的母亲在2010年看到报纸上的一则报道后才知道女儿所患的病症为克莱恩－李文综合症，不过这一罕见病种目前没有任何治疗方法，只是有迹象显示部分患者可能会随着年龄增长而自愈。</p><p><span word="A">A</span> <span word="student">student</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="revealed">revealed</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="missed">missed</span> <span word="birthdays">birthdays</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="university">university</span> <span word="exams">exams</span> - <span word="because">because</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="fast">fast</span> <span word="asleep">asleep</span>.</p><p><span word="Lily">Lily</span> <span word="Clarke">Clarke</span>, 21, <span word="has">has</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="rare">rare</span> <span word="condition">condition</span> <span word="called">called</span> <span word="Kleine">Kleine</span>-<span word="Levin">Levin</span> <span word="syndrome">syndrome</span>, <span word="which">which</span> <span word="makes">makes</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="nod">nod</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="month">month</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="time">time</span>. <span word="She">She</span> <span word="wakes">wakes</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="drink">drink</span> <span word="before">before</span> <span word="returning">returning</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="slumber">slumber</span>.</p><p><span word="Over">Over</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="seen">seen</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="seven">seven</span> <span word="different">different</span> <span word="consultants">consultants</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="underwent">underwent</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="battery">battery</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="medical">medical</span> <span word="tests">tests</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="diagnosed">diagnosed</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="mother">mother</span> <span word="read">read</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="similar">similar</span> <span word="case">case</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Daily">Daily</span> <span word="Mail">Mail</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="February">February</span> 2010.</p><p>'<span word="As">As</span> <span word="soon">soon</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="read">read</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="symptoms">symptoms</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="recognised">recognised</span> <span word="them">them</span>,' <span word="Adele">Adele</span>, 47 <span word="said">said</span>.</p><p>'<span word="It">It</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="such">such</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="relief">relief</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="finally">finally</span> <span word="find">find</span> <span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="knew">knew</span> <span word="what">what</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="describing">describing</span>.'</p><p><span word="Ms">Ms</span> <span word="Clarke">Clarke</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="condition">condition</span> <span word="first">first</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="family">family</span>, <span word="from">from</span> <span word="Halsemere">Halsemere</span>, <span word="Surrey">Surrey</span>, <span word="went">went</span> <span word="ice">ice</span> <span word="skating">skating</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="November">November</span>, 2007.</p>
