Footage of a nine-year-old boy in a Chinese hospital who cannot feel pain or sweat but has had a fever, on-and-off, for his whole life.

The footage, filmed in Heze, Shandong Province last Thursday, shows the boy lying in hospital.

According to local reports, he has an extremely rare disease that means he can feel very little pain and can't really sweat but his father claims he suffers from fevers regularly. He has to take medication and has injections when his temperature rises too much.

The video also shows that one of his toes is missing, which doctors had to remove after it became infected.

According to reports, there are only dozens of cases of this condition around the world.
