  • Cpn and specific diseases

Hello, everybody,

I'm back with an issue. First of all I finally recovered form the cpni [1] infection and maybe I still got some of those bugs in me, but I feel fine and great at the moment and I'will deal with them soon. I applied Dr Wheldon's protocol.

But that is not the reason for this topic. I have a 32 year old coleague who was hospitalized yesterday because of a diagnosed TTP or Moschovitz syndrome. He had 2 of the nominal 140 (G/l). This desease is based on immunodeficiency and is a result of a autoimmune reaction.

 

He is now on treatment on approximately this scheme http://int-pediatrics.org/PDF/Volume%2016/16-3/juditmullerpdf.pdf [2]   (page 3). The doctors apply a standart worldwide accepted therapy. They also said that if the problem persists a surgical removal of the spleen might be carried out, because they assume that the spleen kills the trombocites in an autoimmune fasion.

My queston to the more advanced members(dr. D W, JimK, michele, sarah, NormanYarvin, Mark and many others who have guided me through my treatment) of this forum is:

 

Is it possible (TTP - Moschovitz syndrome) to be caused by a long time unnoticed CPn infection?

The patient has had quite specific circular skin brushes over his face for long time.

Also he has complained of bad stomach and gases for long time.

 

The current treatment involves huge quantity of corticosteroids and
PEX (plasma exchange through transfusion), since his life is in danger.

 

After that there will be supporting scheme on corticosteroids.
Is it possible during this time a CAPi [3] to be tried if it turns out that a Cpn infection is envolved?

 

 

Thank you all,

Momchil Denev

P.S.: He had 2 of the nominal 140 (G/l) trombocites at the moment of his hospitalization. After the introduction of corticosteroids on the next day he has 7 G/l trombocites.
