RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS (OUTCOME AND FOLLOW-UP)
The patient’s clinical course was complex, marked by neurological sequelae and respiratory compromise. Feeding was done with a nasogastric tube. Effective management necessitated the collaboration of multiple specialties, including neuro-medicine, infectious diseases, critical care, and Ear, Nose, Throat Head and Neck Surgery departments.
At the time of discharge and upon further inquiry via tele-communication and physical follow up in subsequent couple of months, the patient was able to read and write but mild dysarthria was present. Nasogastric feeding was also subsequently removed with patient being able to feed on his own.
