A Rare Disease is one that is characterized by gathering a series of symptoms, pathologies and statistical data that make it rare or atypical. It could be asserted that the term rare disease is coined to a category or classification among the millions suffered by human and non-human beings, each health system in the world defines them differently, this is because if a disease that only It is in one part of the planet and suddenly it appears on another pole. It was a medical event distinguished by its rarity.
The WHO (World Health Organization) keeps complex statistics from the most common of illnesses to diseases that have caused pandemics and caused millions of deaths. Those that are within this data as the least people have suffered are called atypical or rare.
Usually, a rare disease is caused by a genetic, hereditary, or congenital defect. Studies of the different physical alterations in humans have determined that pregnancy is the determining time interval for a rare disease to appear or manifest itself initially.
With rare diseases, in addition to the statistical distinction, there are also social complications that assert the situation of those who suffer from it. Firstly, due to the lack of easily accessible medical care for patients with these types of anomalies, which produces excessive expenses in the treatment and medication of those affected. Second, society's rejection of people whose symptoms can be easily perceived. Many television programs have been responsible for showing rare diseases as documented phenomena in detail in which even the viewer can appreciate how difficult it is for a medical team to treat a special pathology of this nature.
To statistically recognize a rare disease, we have to look for the prevalence of the anomaly, this consists of a scheme in which a basic group of people is compared with the specific phenomenon, for example, rare disease X happens to at least 1 of 10,000 people in the world. By multiplying this data with a demographic data, we obtain an average or approximate balance of the people affected in a given area with the peculiar disease.
