A 13-year-old boy, Mr. S.S.R. (PIN L-5687) was brought to the Life Force Homeopathy clinic by his uncle on 25th September 25, 2003. For the past six months, he was a known case of Aplastic Anaemia. He was diagnosed with anemia.
Chief Complaints:
The boy used to mainly complain of immense weakness with palpitations which used to turn worse in the afternoon. His breathing was very fast which used to get worsened by walking fast, climbing stairs, and by any kind of exertion.
There was a remarkable numbness experienced by him all over the body and it used to get worse after eating and by constant pressure on any part. There was a history of the formation of ecchymotic patches on an injury. He used to have vertigo episodes 2-3 times a day.
His appetite was markedly less. He complained of the paleness of lips and hands for the past 3 months. He had a fever occasionally, for the past 2 months. He also had an episode of febrile convulsions once in September 2003.
He complained of pain in the midclavicular region around 4 inches below the clavicle on touch.
There was a crackling noise in various joints of his body. Moreover, he also complained of increased chilliness for the past 5-6 days which got worse when he came in contact with the cold water.
His Associated Complaints:
He suffered from constipation for the past 2 years. He had semisolid to loose stools. The frequency of his bowel movements was once in 2 days. He also complained of pain in the eyes which used to turn worse when doing any kind of fine work.
Past Medical History:
He had recurrent urinary tract infections with fever 6 months back. There was also a history of Hepatitis twice 10 years back. He was also hospitalized once for Hematemesis.
Past Medical Treatment:
He was given an Injection of Anti-thrombocytic globulin. The patient was admitted on 25th July 2003. He was given packed cell and a pint of platelet infusion on 7th September 2003, when he had a high-grade fever with vomiting and seizures.
Current Medical Treatment:
He was put on Vitcofol injections, and Fetoplex injections on alternate days. He was also given T. Folvite and Capsule Becosules as well.
But, after taking these drugs, he experienced many side effects like vertigo as well as vomiting. He was advised that he should be given Platelet infusion every week for at least 2 months.
He had P. Falciparum infection in August 2003.
He was hospitalized on 28th July 2003.
He was also given T. Wysolone for a couple of days.
Moreover, he was advised to go for a Bone marrow transplant by the conventional line of treatment.
Mental Symptoms:
There was a loss of interest in studies. The boy was very inquisitive by nature. He liked to do mechanical work, and he was interested in computers.
He was very creative. He desired reading a lot. He was also short-tempered. He did not consider others’ emotions or feelings at all. He did not like his brother and that was the reason he did not mingle with him at all. He plays mischief with his brother and breaks his instruments etc.
He was very confident. He never had any fear or anxiety before exams. However, before the results, he used to become very tense.
He desired company and liked to play a lot.

His episodes of recurrent upper respiratory tract infections had drastically reduced by now.
He reported to have it only 1/month. The intensity had reduced dramatically and it would last for around 5 days or so.
He reported having pus-filled boils on his forehead for the past 2 weeks, for which he was treated adequately.
|
He was prescribed homeopathic drugs and called for a follow-up every month. The conventional doctors had advised him to go for a Bone marrow transplant but then that was not possible at this time, as there was no matching donor available.
Remark: The patient was just treated with the aid of these tiny deep-acting pills. The reader of this case is the best judge to witness that this child could be saved from the surgeon's knife.
Conclusion:
This case highlights that homeopathy is quite effective in treating aplastic anemia significantly.
