Children are not strangers: Stage 2

Patient boy Evgen needs our help again. UBB have collected money for one course of treatment of the child. The treatment is very expensive. The son and his mother cannot cope with the disaster. Evgen have the congenital genetic disease – primary immunodeficiency. He needs to be treated by strong anti-fungal drugs. Let's support Evgen this time!

The child began to get sick from the first month of life. In the first years of the boy's life has suffered following serious illness: soft tissue infection (paraproctitis, felon), inguinal and cervical lymphadenitis, hypochromic anemia, secondary cardiopathy, angina, atopic dermatitis. Since 2009 the boy has been sick with pneumonia, also for the last three years the boy has been sick with cervical lymphadenitis.

In autumn 2012 Evgen was treated in Kyiv City Clinical Hospital №1. After a detailed clinical examination the boy was diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency, chronic granulomatous disease. 

Patients with chronic granulomatous disease have to take vital drug gamma interferon "Ingaron" during all their life to keep the immune system.

In December 2013 surgeons from the regional children's hospital in Donetsk was diagnosed the right subclavian purulent lymphadenitis, and as a result the boy was operated. Even greater problems appeared when granuloma was operated in December has much inflamed, and began to fester. Natalia could not leave her house in Donbas long two months. Donetsk hospital could not help the boy. In August Natalia came to Kyiv with her son. In Kiev clinic the boy’s wound was cleaned and Evgen was transferred to immunological unit of Regional Pediatric Hospital №1. The hospital took the boy's materials for research. Aspergillus fungus was detected in the wound and blood. Fungal infection is very dangerous for a boy with primary immunodeficiency.

Evgen feels much better after undergoing partial treatment, blood tests are satisfactory. Evgen was transferred to the tablet "Vfend". The price of one package is 10 500 UAH. Total price of 2 packs is 21 000 UAH, and it will be enough for a month.

Natalia Mikulich grows the child on her own. Relatives and friends stayed in the occupied territories, a woman spends in the hospital with Evgen all her time. All earned money goes for Evgen's treatment with "Ingaron". Natalia asks for help to save her only son.
