Salisu B., 3

Salisu is 3 years old. He is the last among 5 children. He lives with his parents and the parents are making plans of enrolling him to a government nursery school. He has been having fever for the past 4 days, drugs were bought from the chemist but there's still no improvement on the health that is why they came to Albishir for him to be properly evaluated. On presentation at our hospital, Salisu was evaluated and diagnosed with Malaria and Enteric Fever.

The patient was admitted with a diagnosis of malaria and enteric fever, presenting with fever, chills, abdominal discomfort, and weakness. He was treated with a full course of antimalarial drugs alongside appropriate antibiotics, supported with fluids, antipyretics, and nutritional care. Over the course of treatment, his fever subsided, abdominal symptoms improved, and his overall strength and appetite returned. At discharge, he is clinically stable, afebrile, tolerating diet well, and has regained good hydration status. He was advised to complete all prescribed medications, maintain adequate rest, nutrition, mosquito prevention, and proper hygiene, with a follow-up appointment scheduled for continued recovery monitoring.

With prompt treatment, the prognosis for both malaria and enteric fever is generally good. Delayed care may lead to serious complications like cerebral malaria or intestinal perforation. Early diagnosis, medication, and supportive care greatly improve recovery outcomes.
