Aisha is a 5 year old girl living with parents, amidst the financial challenges, the parents are struggling to pay her schools. The father is a petty businessman and the mother is a house wife. The family are so happy living together and they show it even it in their smiles. Sometimes they struggle to eat. Aisha started having fever, abdominal pain, vomiting everything. Patient was apparently well until 10 days ago when she started having high-grade fever with associated headache, abdominal pain and vomiting not abating with home treatment. Because of her condition they couldn't take her to the hospital because of lack of finances, soon afterwards, they were referred to Helpster Charity program by a neighbor and they visited for proper evaluation. Upon presentation, and after thorough investigation she was diagnosed with enteric fever.

When Aisha who is a 5 yo girl was brought to WholeCare hospital, she presented with high grade fever associated with severe abdominal pain and weakness of the body, she was admitted. She was diagnosed with severe enteric fever and treatments commenced with antibiotics and other supportive medications. She became stable, after some days and was discharged with some take home orals. The mother appreciates Helpster Charity for the support given.

Aisha prognosis is good given the early diagnosis of enteric fever and prompt initiation of antibiotic therapy with supportive care. Most patients recover fully under such management. Delayed or untreated cases may lead to complications such as intestinal perforation, hemorrhage, or prolonged carrier states, but with current treatment these risks are minimized. Aisha is expected to make a full recovery with adherence to therapy and follow-up.
