Why is treatment done earlier than admission?
Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts.
That's why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

YOBE STATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL DAMATURU
Damaturu, Yobe State, 6 Gujba Road, Nigeria
Background
Ummi is an 8-year-old calm girl whose hobby has been going to school. When asked, her dream is to become a teacher. Ummi presented with a 2-day history of high-grade fever, altered level of consciousness and multiple convulsions. Her parents reported a history of recent travel to a malaria-endemic area. On presentation at the hospital, the child was evaluated and diagnosed with Cerebral Malaria with Convulsions.
Medical history
Ummi was admitted in our facility and managed as a case of Cerebral malaria with multiple convulsions. She had her complete dosages of parenteral antimalarials, anticonvulsants and other supportive medications. She was also rehydrated with IV fluids. As the treatment progressed, she responded well as evidenced by resolving of admitting symptoms. She was later discharged home with oral medications following improvement to complete her recovery at home.
Outcome
Cerebral Malaria is a life threatening condition when not promptly and appropriately attended to. However with prompt treatment using Injectable and oral antimalarials, coupled with other supplementary drugs patients respond and fully recover from the condition.
