December 2018:  Purna writes to tell us about a fascinating case he has been involved with at PAHS in Kathmandu.

Purna treats young boy

“A 12 year Orphan child, initially from Jajarkot (western hilly district) came to our children ward with chief complaints of swelling around his eye, face, abdomen and legs. His father died when he was 2 and few year later his mother also left him. She married another man. But his maternal uncle helped him to stay on in their home for few days. Then a organisation working for orphan children helped him. They took him to Kathmandu and kept him in their orphan centre, and sent him to go school and kept him in their hostel. 

At the time of admission he had high blood pressure (150/100 mm of Hg) and swelling all over his body. We started some intravenous medications to reduce blood pressure and swelling, and antibiotics with some preventive measures. We sent him to our lab for further investigation. Our clinical examination and lab report confirmed the diagnosis “NEPHROTIC SYNDROME”. He is starting to improve. We are  monitoring his health condition continuously.  He came to our hospital in time. Thanks to God! You brought an “Orphan child” to us in time before developing complications.” Purna
