Why is treatment done earlier than admission?
Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts.
That's why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Outcome

Co-infection or progression of these diseases can lead to severe organ failure, profound septic shock, and cerebral malaria, which causes dangerous brain swelling, seizures, and coma.
