Nafisa U., 10

Nafisa Usman is a ten-year-old girl with a cheerful spirit and a bright smile. She lives with her parents and four younger siblings in a small, overcrowded mud house in a poor settlement around Layin Sidi in Birniwa town. Her father is a laborer who works on other people's farms for meager wages, earning barely enough to buy food for his family. Her mother is a housewife who cares for the children and does what she can to stretch the little money they have. They have no savings, no health insurance, and no family support. Nafisa is the eldest child and often helps her mother care for her younger siblings. Despite the hardship, her parents dream of her growing up healthy, completing her education, and having a better future than their own. When Nafisa developed a persistent high fever, headache, and abdominal pain, her parents watched helplessly as their daughter grew weaker. They had no money for a doctor. In their desperation, they heard about Helpster Charity Foundation and brought Nafisa to Adari Medical Clinic on 17th June 2026, seeking help for their daughter. Upon thorough medical assessment, she was diagnosed with uncomplicated Typhoid fever.

Nafisa Usman, a ten-year-old girl, presented with a one-week history of high fever (39.0°C), headache, abdominal pain, and weakness. Laboratory tests confirmed typhoid fever (positive Widal test). She was diagnosed with uncomplicated typhoid fever. Because of her persistent fever and the need for observation, she was admitted for 1 day (17th – 18th June) for intravenous antibiotics and fluids. She received intravenous ceftriaxone, intravenous fluids, and intravenous paracetamol. Her fever began to subside within 24 hours, and she was clinically stable. Prognosis is excellent with prompt treatment. Full recovery expected within 7-10 days with completion of oral antibiotics.
