Hello nairalanders, my name is Alwell and I have being an ardent member of this forum for two years now. My first account on here was 'Alwelldinho'. I have seen how lives has been touched on forum, and it's on this note I come pleading that you extend same hand of assistance to a brother.

I traveled home last weekend only to meet a saddening story and a gory sight of one of my cousins who is suffering from tuberculosis.

Akachi, got married in 2016, he own a barbing salon from where he makes a living. Few months after his wedding, he fell sick. He was getting thinner by the day and rumour had that he was HIV positive. He went for HIV test in two different hospitals and the results confirmed he was HIV negative.

Since he wasn't HIV positive, what could be eating him up? People suggested it could a spiritual problem. That's when the journey for native cure started. He was taken from one village to another yet no signs of improvement. As the days passed by, his health deteriorated.

After the traditional services weren't working, he resorted to try English medicine once again. He ran several tests, and none of them indicated he had tuberculosis. All the lab test conducted in Aba none pointed to tuberculosis.

When the sickness got out of hand, he was moved to
Port Harcourt, Health Crest Specialist Hospital, [/b]that was where he was diagnosed of tuberculosis. The doctors that attended to him in port Harcourt are
Dr. Barry
Dr. Eferebo

I brought his matter here for good hearted Nigerians to help him not just financially but if there are places he can be taken to for care, Tuberculosis centres. He needs all the help he can get at the moment. He has been battling this ailment close to one year. I will be available to answer all questions to this regard, and if there are questions I can't answer I will pass it to him in the village.

His name is
Nwakalamba Akachi Chidiadi
Uba
A/c no. 2082636854
Phone number: 07081786638 or 07061534403

The first picture is his hospital card from one of the hospitals he went to in Aba. He said all medical records were collected at health crest specialist hospital for analysis.

The second picture and third are test results from health crest specialist hospital.

These are the few details I could get from him before leaving the village back to my base.

Hes not even in bad shape compared to what ive seen.
First thing you need is to identify what strain of mycobacterium - is it sensitive to first line drigs drugs or is it a resistant strain ?
