Nafisa A., 3

Nafisa Akter is a 3-year-and-5-month-old girl who lives with her parents and 5-year-old sister, Ayesha, in Krishi Market Camp, Mohammadpur, Dhaka. Her father works at a salon and earns approximately USD 99 per month, while her mother is a housewife, making it difficult for the family to manage daily expenses and the cost of urgent hospital care. Nafisa developed high fever, severe vomiting, and loss of appetite, which progressed to extreme lethargy and reduced urine output, requiring emergency admission to Al-Manar Hospital. She was diagnosed with Dengue Shock Syndrome complicated by Macrophage Activation Syndrome, a critical condition that can rapidly lead to poor circulation, organ dysfunction, and death without timely treatment. The family learned about Helpster Charity through a medical outreach camp organized in Geneva Camp, and they are seeking support for Nafisa’s urgent care.

With Helpster’s support, three-year-old Nafisa Akter was admitted to Al-Manar Hospital on July 25, 2026, struggling with high fever, severe dehydration, and critical shock. Doctors immediately initiated fluid resuscitation alongside intravenous antibiotics and corticosteroids to stabilize her condition and manage her severe Dengue Shock Syndrome complicated by Macrophage Activation Syndrome. Following intensive conservative management and close monitoring, she spent a total of four days in the hospital before being safely discharged on July 29, 2026. She returned home with a structured post-discharge care plan, including prescribed oral paracetamol, syrup, antifungal medicine, and soothing lotion. The prompt medical intervention successfully restored her health, allowing young Nafisa to recover safely at home and return to a comfortable, active childhood.

Immediate hospitalization, IV fluid and antibiotic therapy, routine investigations, and close monitoring are essential to stabilize Nafisa’s condition and assess her response to treatment. If her condition deteriorates, ICU support may be required to manage severe complications and maintain vital functions. With timely treatment and careful monitoring, her circulation and overall condition may improve, reducing the risk of organ complications. If left untreated, Dengue Shock Syndrome with Macrophage Activation Syndrome may rapidly progress to severe shock, organ dysfunction, and life-threatening deterioration.
