Ectodermal Macleod Dexatronia is usually referred to as EMD. EMD is a disease that spreads by a virus in the blood and that is very common among countries with a shortage of good health care. The virus attacks the kidneys and bladder and causes red infections that spread and eventually causes them to fail. The only known symptom of the disease is pain while sleeping, and abnormal drowziness. Only once has the disease successfully been cured. This was in 1998, when Dr. John Brambil performed an operation and removed one of the kidneys of patient Raila Odinga. Last year, however, the medical research company PENTAX announced that they have developed a new medicine that can reduce the speed of which the infections spread.
