Life without immunity: Misha needs medicines. 2

Misha Nikolaenko is a naughty and cheerful little boy from Sumy region. During the time passed from the publication of the last project, this boy grew up, at the end of January he turned 6 years old. Like all boys of his age, he loves cars and races, he drives rapidly on everything that rides. Misha loves to "chemize" (as he says): mix everything that comes to hand. "He counts up to 100 and reads by syllables", says his mother. 

In general, the Mishar is a sociable and active boy. He has friends with whom he gets along well and plays gangsters and police and catch-up every day. And he becomes very angry when they catch up. "Recently, Misha was vaccinated with Hexaxime", his mother continues. "We were very worried about how the son’s body would react to the vaccine. Thank God everything is fine. Misha was bothered by teeth, and two months ago he had 4 teeth removed".

Misha loves to go with his father to the playgrounds, where he meets and plays with children without any problems. Because of his illness, the child does not attend kindergarten. Misha has primary immunodeficiency, chronic granulomatous disease. This diagnosis was made at the age of 7 months. From the very birth, Misha is plagued by rash, inflammation, removal of lymph nodes, leg surgery...

As it turned out, Misha was born with a very rare disease, when the child’s immunity is almost zero and the body’s resistance to infections is negligible. The treatment is accompanied by huge doses of antibiotics and antifungal, antibacterial drugs. Granulomatous disease refers to diseases that local doctors began to diagnose relatively recently. For today, about 700 cases were recorded throughout Ukraine. These are genetic diseases that have nothing to do with AIDS.

Misha is seen by specialists at the Kyiv City Children's Clinical Immunology Center. He was prescribed the antifungal drug Orungal. To support the boy, we open a fundraiser for the acquisition of 5 vials of Orungal for the total amount of 11 205 UAH. The parents of Misha try to cope with the treatment of their son. But this expensive drugs family budget is not enough. The mother requests help to get the necessary medication for her son. Please support Misha!
