Dylan Stalon O., 1

Dylan is the only child of young parents who live in a single-room house. His mother is unemployed, while his father supports the family through irregular casual work. Because Dylan is still very young, he has not yet developed particular hobbies or interests. Dylan developed a high fever, became irritable and stopped feeding. Using the little money his father had earned from menial work, the family bought medication from a nearby pharmacy, but his condition continued to worsen. He remained unable to feed, became increasingly irritable and his hair began turning brown. A family friend advised his father to seek urgent hospital care but, without medical insurance or money for treatment, he was hesitant. The friend remembered learning about Helpster Charity during a community meeting and contacted a volunteer, who advised the family to take Dylan to hospital immediately and assured them that assistance could be sought. At the hospital, Dylan was diagnosed with severe malnutrition and anaemia and admitted for urgent treatment and close monitoring.

Dylan's prognosis was guarded on admission due to severe acute malnutrition complicated by anemia, placing him at significant risk of rapid deterioration, infection, and other life-threatening complications. Prompt admission was therefore necessary for close monitoring, stabilization, correction of anemia and nutritional deficiencies, treatment of any underlying infection, and gradual nutritional rehabilitation. With timely and appropriate treatment, the prognosis can become favorable, although continued monitoring and nutritional follow-up are essential to prevent relapse
