Nodding Disease

12-03-27 -- KITGUM, UGANDA -- Three-year-old nodding disease victim Michael Ojok is held by his mother Evelyn Abalo as he 'nods' at the Okidi Central Village Health Centre near Kitgum, Uganda on Tuesday, March 27. When Ojok nods, his eyes roll back and he claws at his face with his hands. In addition to nodding when presented with food, symptoms for victims of the disease vary from seizures, uncontrollable screaming and the urge to run. Photo by Daniel Hayduk
