La madre di Alessia, affetta da malattia rara: "La diagnosi è una batosta, ma poi bisogna combattere

February 28th is Rare Disease Day. Fanpage.it visited the San Paolo Hospital in Milan, whose pediatric clinic treats many patients with rare diseases, especially metabolic ones. "Every day we can say that a new rare disease is recognized," Giuseppe Banderali, Head of Neonatology and Pediatrics, explained to Fanpage.it, adding: "A rare disease isn't just an incurable disease; very often, rare diseases can be cured." Fanpage.it shared the stories of 30-year-old Davide, who suffers from PKU and has been treated since birth at the San Paolo and manages to live a normal life, and of Alessia, a "soft" little girl, as her mother describes her: "Sometimes she falls, she struggles to climb the stairs, but she tries and does it. It's complicated, but it's also rewarding because Ale takes two more steps, and we're happy about it; she falls one less time, and that's beautiful." https://youmedia.fanpage.it/video/aa/...
