17 children in Spain were mistakenly given a drug for hair growth instead of acid reflux, leaving their bodies covered with hair.
Parents are anguished by a medical mistake that caused “werewolf syndrome” in their children, leaving their bodies covered with hair.
“The original shipment of bulk omeprazole from India was analyzed and the results showed that it was in perfect condition,” a representative of the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices told the Spanish newspaper El País. “The problem was when it was divided into small batches that were later also sold in bulk. There was a serious confusion in the process.
Selles’ son drank almost three bottles of the liquid medicine, leaving his liver “not great,” she told the paper, adding that doctors have assured her he will recuperate. The syndrome, which affects both men and women, is rare: There are less than 100 cases around the world. It can develop in three ways. The first cause is genetic — a 2011 study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics found that an additional X chromosome can activate a gene called SOX3, per LiveScience, resulting in hair growth.
