Sadiq is a 3-year olf boy who presented to our hospital very sick. He was evaluated and investigated with a diagnosis of Malaria and Enteric Fever. He was admitted for three days and given injection antibiotic's and injection antimalarial. After some improvement, as fever stopped, he was discharged home with oral antibiotic's and antimalaria. The parent was happy and grateful to Helpster Charity.

With timely diagnosis and correct treatment, the prognosis of malaria and enteric fever is generally favorable, and most patients recover fully. However, untreated or delayed malaria may progress to severe complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anemia, or organ failure, while untreated enteric fever can lead to intestinal perforation, hemorrhage, or chronic carriage. In regions with drug resistance or poor access to healthcare, both diseases carry higher risks of morbidity and mortality, but preventive measures like mosquito control, safe water, sanitation, and vaccination for typhoid greatly improve outcomes
