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
Severe malaria is a life-threatening form of malaria caused predominantly by Plasmodium falciparum. It occurs when the malaria parasites multiply rapidly in the bloodstream, leading to widespread destruction of red blood cells and blockage of small blood vessels. Typhoid fever is a systemic bacterial infection caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi. The infection is usually acquired through ingestion of food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person.

Background
Samuel Alex, just one year and nine months old, lives with his parents in a modest apartment in Uke Bus-Stop community. His father recently lost his job and is still searching for work, so the family now rests on his mother, Mrs Glory, who sells grains on Uke market days. They depend on a well and a borehole for water. When Samuel developed fever and lost his appetite, his mother tried repeatedly to treat him at home, but nothing worked. She brought him to the hospital, where he looked ill, weak, and feverish, and tests confirmed severe malaria and typhoid. He was admitted and treated for two days with antimalarials and antibiotics, and thankfully, he recovered well and was discharged home.
Medical history
Samuel Alex a 1 year and 9 months old child was diagnosed with Severe malaria and typhoid. He was admitted for two days and treated with antimalarials such I.V artesunate 20mg 12hrly X 24hrs and I.V vitamin B complex 1cc 8hrly X 24hrs. Antibiotics susp. Cefuroxime 5mls BD X 7/7, syrup albendazole 10mla start, syrup Paracetamol 5mls TDS X 3/7 etc. The child showed vital signs of recovery and has since been discharged.
Prognosis
For a one year child suffering from severe malaria and typhoid fever presents a very serious infectious condition requiring urgent medical attention. The prognosis is guarded at presentation due to increased risk of complications associated with the two diseases. However, with timely intervention and treatment and supportive care the likelihood of recovery is good. Consequently, delayed treatment or the development of severe complications may adversely affect the outcome and increase the risk of morbidity and mortality.
