He thought he was suffering from flu but the reality was quite different. After experiencing flu-like symptoms, a 30-year-old man discovered he had an autoimmune disease known as severe aplastic anemia. This disease is the result of insufficient levels of new blood cells in the body.
“This is such a serious disease that if someone sneezes around you, you can get a deadly infection
“, assured the young man, quoted by The Sun. The disease leaves patients with low immunity to fight off certain serious infections. The young firefighter returned home awaiting a bone marrow donor.But, soon, his nose began to itch and eventually, hurt. Due to fever, he returned to the hospital. Doctors diagnosed a fatal fungal infection. “Breathing wasn’t difficult when my nose got infected; It was only the local pain and swelling that was worrying.“
In total, doctors performed five surgeries on his nose and face.chase
“Stop the fungus and its spread.”It moved deeper and deeper into my face and entered my left eye. It would have been my brain in the next place, which would have been game over“, says the patient.So, after trying everything, the doctors decided to remove his nose and part of his eye socket to prevent infection. He subsequently received a bone marrow transplant but developed graft-versus-host syndrome. The cells produced after the transplant turned against his body, and doctors managed to cure him with tube feeding.
