Struggles of living with a primary immunedeficiency condition
- 8 years ago
17-year-old Makrand Koppula suffers from Bruton Agammaglobulinemia, a primary immunedeficiency condition that is both rare and incurable. Weakened immunity makes him highly susceptible to infections, which has hurt almost all his vital organs. Living with one lung and a weak heart, Makrand can't go out. Even when the rare chance of stepping out does come up, he is bothered by constant stares and questions posed by strangers around him.
Despite these shortcomings, Makrand has cheerfully adapted to his new life and lost himself in painting. He has already managed to sell 10 paintings, including one for Rs 20,000, at his first art exhibition at the Experimental Arts Gallery at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
