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.
