30 year old unmarried Asiya Anjum, was diagnosed with Tubeculosis (TB) in 2011. She comes from a very poor family and her father is a mechanic. She underwent treatment for TB but she had recurrence of the disease in 2015 with involvement of her lower jaw (mandible). She was under intermittent treatment for secondary TB since then but gradually her mouth opening strated to decrease and now she has almost nil mouth opening and unable to take any solid food. She is now extremely malnourished with very low haemoglobin levels.
On examination it is found that her lower jaw joint on left side was effected with TB and this led to the fusion of her lower jaw joint and her mouth opening gradually reduced to zero. Her chief concern now is to be able to open the mouth normally and take feeds like anyone else. To achieve this objective, she needs a surgery on her fused lower jaw joint and it has to be reconstructed with a new joint. The cost of this treatment would be approximately around 3.5 lakh and she is requesting for donations towards this treatment. Kindly help her to give her health back. Thank you🙏
