New Delhi, Aug 31 - Describing the infant with a protruding heart as a 'miracle boy', doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Monday said the five-day-old boy was suffering from multiple disorders, including a hole in the heart.

'During a complete check-up we found the baby has multiple disorders. Apart from the protruding heart, he also has a hole in his heart and has a single pump (for pumping blood),' A.K. Bisoi, a cardiologist and additional professor at the Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Department of AIIMS, told IANS.

The doctor, who is incharge of the five-member team looking into the case, said a heart normally has two pumps.

The infant was brought to the premier institute on Friday when he was just two days old by his father Chander Manjhi.

Kept in the ICCU (intensive cardiac care unit) of the Cardio-Thoracic Sciences Centre, the infant Sunday night went through exchange blood transfusion as his blood has been infected.

'The baby is relatively stable and we performed exchange transfusion Sunday night and replaced his infected blood with pure and sterilized blood.
