Napploy, a 6-month-old, developed a low-grade fever after two days of a runny nose. The fever escalated overnight, prompting her parents to take her to a local hospital in Ayutthaya when sponging and fever reducers didn't help. At the hospital, Napploy began to seize with a temperature of 39.5°C. After a brain scan and spinal tap, her hands and feet turned blue, indicating another impending seizure. She was rushed to the emergency room as her fever spiked every 5-10 minutes. Her condition didn't improve, so her father arranged for Ramkhamhaeng Hospital to send an ambulance.
Napploy's father was impressed from the start, noting that a doctor, not just nurses, accompanied the ambulance from Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, which was reassuring. Upon arrival at the Pediatric ICU, he found the nurses to be exceptionally caring, treating both the patient and family like relatives. He praised their attentiveness and the doctors' helpful advice.
Patient with MIS-C (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children)
Ms. Nisthida Sukprasert, the patient's mother, recounts her son Jean's sudden severe symptoms. Initially presenting with extreme vomiting, low-grade fever, and prominent gastrointestinal issues, doctors became suspicious when they learned Jean had recovered from COVID-19 just 2-3 weeks prior, despite expecting high fever for post-COVID complications. His rapid deterioration, including jaundice, rapid heartbeat, and reduced consciousness, led to immediate PICU admission. There, initial test results confirmed severe inflammation, particularly affecting the heart. Doctors promptly initiated treatment with medication to improve heart muscle function and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Dr. Tarita Charuchanapongthorn, a pediatric critical care specialist, and Dr. Peeratuch Chokmungmeepisarn, a pediatric neurologist, revealed that after comprehensive treatment, the patient was diagnosed with G6PD deficiency, an underlying condition discovered during his hospital stay.
