7. Noma (Cancrum Oris)
Noma or usually known as Cancrum Oris is an infection that causes ulcers to form in the mouth or on the genitals. These boils that were previously visible to the naked eye can "move" into the body's tissues until they no longer appear, causing defects from within the body.
Life expectancy from this deadly disease is small. Nearly 90 percent of people who develop Noma eventually die from complications of the infection.
Noma generally occurs in malnourished children in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. This infection is most common in children between the ages of 2 and 5 years.
