一个对冬天过敏的小男孩

他对冬天过敏。

A 7-year-old boy from the United Kingdom has life-threatening allergic reactions to frigid weather due to a rare skin condition, according to a new report.

一份最新报告显示，英国一名7岁男孩因罕见的皮肤状况，对寒冷天气有致命的过敏反应。

Tommy Leitch suffers from a rare disorder known as cold urticaria and angioedema, which leaves him with rashes, difficulty breathing and a swollen stomach during winter months, according to The Sun.

据《太阳报》报道，汤米·莱奇患有一种罕见的疾病，称为感冒性荨麻疹和血管性水肿，这使他在冬季会出现皮疹、呼吸困难和腹部肿胀。

“Last winter he was hospitalised every month as his allergic reaction caused him to violently vomit, struggle to breathe and was delirious,” his mom, Abigail McDonald, told the outlet.

他的妈妈阿比盖尔·麦克唐纳(Abigail McDonald)告诉记者：“去年冬天，他每个月都会住院治疗，因为他的过敏反应导致他剧烈呕吐，呼吸困难，神志不清。”

“It’s a horrific condition and I always panic about it as it can be life threatening if Tommy doesn’t get urgent medical attention.”

“这是一种可怕的情况，我总很恐慌，因为如果汤米没有得到紧急医疗救治，可能会危及生命。”

McDonald said Tommy’s symptoms began two years ago when she noticed a rash on his head.

麦克唐纳说，汤米的症状始于两年前，当时她注意到他头上有一块儿皮疹。

“I thought it was just a viral infection but the next morning he was covered from head to toe and complaining of stomach and chest pains with a swollen face and stomach,” McDonald said.

麦克唐纳说：“我以为只是病毒感染，但第二天早上，他从头到脚都是，还抱怨胃痛和胸痛，脸和肚子都肿了。”

Tommy was rushed to the hospital, where he was referred to a dermatologist who gave him the diagnosis, according to the report.

据报道，汤米被紧急送往医院，并被转介给一位皮肤科医生进行诊断。

They have also since learned that he’s sensitive to hot weather as well.

后来他们也了解到，他对炎热的天气也很敏感。

“I had no idea people could be allergic to temperatures before Tommy, which I think makes it even more difficult,” his mom said.

他妈妈说：“在汤米之前，我不知道人们会对温度过敏，我想这会让事情变得更加困难。”

He requires antihistamines to reduce the flare-ups, which can become deadly if untreated, according to the report.

据报道，他需要抗组胺药来减少突发事件，否则，可能会致命。

“I am always on guard as we never know when it is going to happen which makes it even scarier,” McDonald said.

麦克唐纳说：“我总是保持警惕，因为我们永远不知道这种可怕的事情什么时候会发生。”
