before                    After

This patient who volunteered to appear in our records as a typical case of HIV/AIDS who has benefited from the treatment provided in Mariandina Clinic.

Brief History
This lady aged 28 years realised she had acquired the virus five years ago in 1992 and for a period of two years she suffered from serious opportunistic infections which included among others recurrent malaria causing serious fevers and anaemia. She got diarrhoea, loss of appetite and loss of weight. She got severe fungus infections in the mouth and also mycotic infections of the skin. She was also coughing for a period of 6 months by the time she came to our clinic. She was examined and found to have full blown AIDS. She was HIV positive by ELISA and confirmed by Western Blots. She had a white blood count of 3,200 per cubic mm, her CD4 count was 250 and CD8 was 380 per cubic mm. The x-ray of the chest showed tuberculosis involving both lungs. The skin was peeling off because of advanced mycotic infections.

Treatment
She was put on Mariandina A (2x3), Mariandina B (1x3) & Mariandina J (1x3). She was also given anti-tuberculosis treatment which consisted of refampicin and INH, ethambitol and pyrazinamide. The candidiasis was treated with miconazol. The response to treatment was rapid. The patient started to improve and the skin infection were treated with specific anti-fungal lotions including miconazol. The tuberculosis cleared within four months and the patient had very much improved generally by the end of six months. She has continued on Mariandina treatment for the last two years and a half with no recurrence of the original opportunistic infections including tuberculosis. She has returned to her normal occupation although she’s reviewed every three months and given more maintenance Mariandina pills of one third of the original dose.
