Today only six of them

Dima began to ache from the 13th day of his life. His first illness was acute respiratory disease. During his 3 years old Dima life has suffered 3 operations and many diseases. Dima has the chronic granulomatous disease. Children who suffer from this form of primary immunodeficiency diagnosed only 6 in Ukraine. In order to live a normal life, patients need prophylactic treatment by immunostimulant drug - gamma interferon. This drug parents can only buy for their money. State provision of gamma interferon in Ukraine is absent. Dmitry needs your help!

Usually a course of preventive treatment for 1 child cost about 15 thousand UAH. It is advisable to take a few courses a year. It is clear that such financial features of the family are not. So, today needy kids just do not use the interferon-gamma. Little Dima began to ache since 13 days of age and was then hospitalized for 8 days. His first illness was acute respiratory disease. During his 3 years old Dima life has suffered 3 operations and many diseases among which were: segmental pneumonia , regional limfodendryt , chickenpox, lacunar tonsillitis, sepsis , and others. When Dima joined the planned hospitalization for substitution therapy with interferon-gamma, he developed granulomas upper front incisors. At this time, the boy removed all the upper teeth. Now Dima is in the Kyiv City Children's Center of Clinical Immunology. The doctor recommends Dima permanent replacement therapy by interferon-gamma.

The child needs the drug Inharon. One course of treatment requires 24 bottle of Inharon for 8 weeks. The price for 1 bottle is 540 UAH. We collect money for the purchase of 1 course of treatment - 12 960 UAH.

We urge all concerned people to pay attention to this issue and participate in the program to support children suffering from chronic granulomatous disease. Today there are only 6. And each course of treatment with interferon-gamma is an additional opportunity not to be on the operating table to avoid another brain abscess, or even just to survive critical to their teens!
