Hassana L., 1

Hassana Lawal is a 7-month-old infant and a twin, living with her parents and siblings in a single-room home in Nasarawa State. Her father is a roadside mechanic and her mother a housewife, and the family survives on a limited income of 40,000 and is struggling to meet basic needs. She developed symptoms of fever and general weakness, which initially appeared mild but became persistent and severe, including poor feeding and high body temperature. Initial home treatment did not improve her condition, prompting her mother to seek hospital care. Following evaluation, she was diagnosed with typhoid and severe malaria. She received appropriate treatment and has since recovered well and been discharged.

Upon the diagnosis, child was admitted and placed under IV medication and treatment associated with close monitoring to see her progress and observe her further. Her response to treatment was excellent and recovery too. Follow up checks was scheduled after discharge. Infant is in good shape and has fully recovered.

Hassan is suffering both Severe malaria and typhoid fever which are serious infections that can significantly affect the child's health. The combination increases the risk of dehydration, anemia, and overall clinical deterioration. With appropriate treatment, including antimalarial drugs, antibiotics, and supportive care, recovery is expected. Prognosis is generally good with timely intervention, and in this case favorable as the patient has responded well to treatment, though continued monitoring is important to ensure full recovery.
