Upon presentation at our hospital, and after further clinical evaluation, he was diagnosed with malaria and enteric fever.

Abubakar a 5 years old child was brought to Albishir hospital with signs of malaria, he was attended to immediately by the medical personnel, he was diagnosed with malaria and enteric fever. Treatment commenced with injection antimalarial, injection antibiotics and other supportive care. Patient did well, was stable and discharged with some take home orals and was scheduled for follow up. The parents remain grateful to Helpster charity team and Albishir hospital for their heroic strength and support.

The prognosis of malaria and enteric fever is generally good when both are diagnosed early and treated promptly with the right medications. Most patients recover completely with appropriate antimalarials for malaria and antibiotics for enteric fever. However, delayed or inadequate treatment can lead to severe complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anemia, or intestinal perforation, which may become life-threatening. With timely medical care and supportive management, recovery is usually quick and outcomes are favorable.
