Sometimes the tiniest mosquito bite can lead to severe and life-threatening consequences.
Such a tiny bite of an Aedes mosquito turned the life upside down of Rajat, a 33-year-old man from an interior town in Rajasthan. The little but lethal bite wreaked havoc, & he found himself in the grip of another life-threatening illness, dengue infection, after surviving COVID.
With severe weakness, dizziness, & dehydration, he was rushed to Zydus Hospitals & was under the supervision of Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Nimit Shah.
But with the visible signs of decreased oxygen levels and deteriorating kidney function, he was taken to the ICU and kept on ventilator support under the care of Dr. Amit Patel, a Critical Care Specialist.
To make matters worse, Rajat began to bleed from his nasal passages, throat, & gastrointestinal tract. The planning of Zydus Hospitals' Hematologist, Dr. Nidhi Jain, & Sr. ENT Surgeon, Dr. Lav Selarka, controlled bleeding & reduced the danger of infections.
However, the continued bleeding and dark tarry stool plainly suggested upper GI tract bleeding, necessitating the consultation of Dr. Hardik Kotecha, Sr. Gastroenterologist, & Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Ketan Patel. Dr. Devang Patwari, Sr. Nephrologist, was also called in to help Rajat with his deteriorating kidneys
During his 21-day stay in the ICU, the exceptional team of super specialists meticulously devised a plan to meet his dialysis routine. He was given 64 blood product supplementation amidst constantly deteriorating kidney, liver, & platelet levels.
Gradually, signs of improvement emerged and he was taken off ventilator and started producing urine so didn't require dialysis. With improvement in his clinical state, he was transferred to a regular ward for physical therapy assisted rehabilitation. A critical care Physiotherapist and her team’s intense physical therapy assisted in his rehabilitation & complete recovery.
Surviving a rare and severe dengue with a 50% mortality rate would not have been possible without Rajat's unwavering perseverance & the meticulous team work of the Super Specialists at the Zydus Hospital.
