Rhoda R., 14

Regina is a shy but determined girl from a humble background. She enjoys playing football and dreams of representing the national team in the future. She also serves as an altar girl at her Catholic church. Regina is the last born in her family, and her mother, a widow, works on other people’s farms to provide for the household. Despite their challenges, Regina relates well with others and remains focused on her goals. She had been well until 1st April, when she developed fever, vomiting, general body weakness, and abdominal pain. Her mother reported that she fainted at home, which raised concern and prompted immediate hospital visit. On arrival, Regina appeared very weak, lethargic, and visibly ill, with persistent fever and signs of dehydration. She required urgent medical attention. She was evaluated by the clinician and diagnosed with severe malaria and typhoid, and treatment was promptly initiated. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a volunteer distributing flyers in the community, which enabled them to seek support for her care.

Rhoda came to the facility sicklooking,she was attended to promptly and was diagnosed with severe malaria and typhoid fever.She was treated with IV Antimalarials,Iv antibiotic and antipyretic.she had a fair prognosis and was also given iv metronidazole.Upon discharge she was given oral medication to continue.She was discharged in a stable condition and has joined her family back at home and is doing well.

Rhoda's prognosis is good Typhoid has a good prognosis prompt treatment.With prompt antibiotic treatment, the prognosis for typhoid fever is excellent, with a mortality rate of less than 1%. Without treatment, the disease can last for weeks, with a 10–20% mortality rate and a high risk of serious complications like intestinal perforation. Malaria too has good prognosis with IV artesunate management and promptness to medication can cause faster recovery but with delayed treatment it can cause anemia,organ failure and eventualy coma that can lead to death
