Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation 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.

About infections
Pneumonia develops when the defensive mechanisms within the lung become overwhelmed by a pathogen which has been either inhaled or aspirated. It is associated with a high mortality rate and significant morbidity. Severe pneumonia is frequently a multisystem disease and patients will often present with multiple organ failure.

YOBE STATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL DAMATURU
Damaturu, Yobe State, 6 Gujba Road, Nigeria
Background
Halima is a two-year-old girl living with her parents at Yobe State. She was well until five days before her presentation at the facility when she developed rashes, cough, redness of the eye, fever, and difficulty breathing. She was examined and investigated, and a diagnosis of Measles complicated by Bronchopneumonia was made.
Medical history
Two-year-old Halima was admitted on account on account of a cough, rashes, and fever. A diagnosis of Measles complicated by Bronchopneumonia was made. She was treated successfully, and the symptoms of cough and rashes were stopped. The child became playful and happy again.
Prognosis
Pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, pneumonia may lead to the permanent lung damage, respiratory failure, septicaemia (infection entering blood stream and causing sepsis), pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, which can make breathing difficult), and other life-threatening complications.
