Patient V.T.L (30 years old, Bac Giang) was admitted to the hospital in a state of severe respiratory failure, with a serious decrease in oxygen index. Despite being put on a ventilator and maximum support, the condition of blood oxygen did not improve. More seriously, the patient began to have severe pulmonary bleeding, with blood flowing into the lungs, stomach and injection sites. The patient fell into a state of severe blood clotting disorder, multiple organ damage.
Faced with the urgent developments, the patient was transferred to the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases. At the Intensive Care Center, her condition became worse: coma, weak pulse, low blood pressure, blood oxygen remained only at 80-85%, much lower than the safe level. thrombocytopenia decreases, hyperpigmentation is deep, and the risk of death is very high.
The patient was prescribed ECMO (artificial outside the body) intervention and continuous blood transfusion. However, after three days of giving nearly 10 liters of blood products, platelet count did not improve. Based on her symptoms and medical history, the doctor diagnosed her with lupus, acute systemic redness, complicated developments on the basis of lung cancer that had not been completely treated.
Only when the huyet tuong replacement method is applied - helping to remove autoimmune antibodies and replace them with huyet tuong from healthy people - will the patient's condition change. After 7 consecutive huyetcose changes, platelets gradually increase, bleeding locations are controlled, and the lungs improve significantly. The patient was given ECMO withdrawal, removed from the ventilator after two weeks and was able to breathe on his own again. A month after active treatment, she made a spectacular recovery and was discharged from the hospital in the overwhelming joy of her family and the medical team.
Through medical history, the patient had lung cancer 10 years ago and was prescribed treatment according to the standard protocol. However, after 2 months, when he felt better in health, the patient stopped taking the medicine without re-examination. In the following years, the patient continued to live normally but showed unusual signs: having multiple miscarriages of unknown cause, but had never had a specialist's examination.
MSc. Dr. Mac Duy Hung (Center for Intensive Care, Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases) commented: This is a typical case of lupus red blood circulation on the basis of tuberculosis that has not been completely treated. The combination of these two diseases makes treatment extremely difficult, with a high risk of death if not intervened promptly.
"The fact that patients arbitrarily abandon the tuberculosis treatment regimen is the cause of more serious disease recurrence, especially dangerous when combined with underlying diseases. Lung Lao can be cured if you follow the correct regimen. However, if you stop taking medication halfway, the disease will not only be difficult to control but also lead to serious complications. Lupus systemic redness is also a complex autoimmune disease, which can cause respiratory failure, blood clotting disorder and death if not detected early," added MSc. Dr. Mac Duy Hung.
