[科技前沿]黑人美女如何"褪成"白色丽人

'My father worked for the United Nations and we travelled the world a lot with his job,' said Darcel, now a fashion designer in London.

'My family believe the stress of moving at such a young age brought on the condition.

'At the age of 12 I tried UV laser treatment（紫外线激光治疗）, but it didn't work and by then, 80 per cent of my body was white so I decided to leave it.'

Vitiligo causes the immune system to attack the pigment cells（色素细胞） which give skin its colour.

It affects one person in 100 of any age, race or colour although it is normally more noticeable in those with naturally dark skin. Darcel has a brother Dion, 29, who is unaffected.

Their father still works for the UN and is now based in Africa.

Last month in the Mail, Luke Davis described how he had changed from black to white apart from a circular patch on his back.

Keke View：　白癜风（vitiligo）一词来源于拉丁语vitium,意“缺损”，或vi-tellus,指“小牛白色斑片”。公元一世纪，罗马医生Celsus所写DeMedicina中，可见vitiligo一词。Vitiligo在许多古籍中常常出现。印度文献中，kilas(kil指白色，as意抛弃)和palita(pal含灰色、年老、老年之意)可追溯到公元前1500~1000年，指的是皮肤上的白色斑片。佛教圣书Vinay Pitak(624~544B.C.)中记载，患kilas的人不能做牧师。印度Manusmriti(200 B.C.)中记载，患svitra(白斑)不受尊重。《古兰经》中baras一词意指白色皮肤，常用来描述Jesus治愈后的状况。
