Pune: A 41 -year -old public accountant who worked in Pune was identified on Monday as the first victim of the Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) Concentrated outbreak in the city, one day after the Maharashtra Health Department reported that a patient who died in a Hospital in Olanca on January 25 was “suspicious” of having contracted the rare but treatable infection.
“It is a case of confirmed GBS,” said State Health Minister Prakash Abitchar, to a presierman’s journalists.
Pune’s GBS Caseload has turned to a spiral to 111 in less than three weeks since the group was formed on January 9. Until Sunday, the count was 101. At least 17 of the patients are in support of the fan, while seven have been discharged, Abitchar said.
The sources said the center had sent a high -level multidisciplinary team to review the increase in PUNE GBS and help the State implement public health measures. The team includes Delhi and Bengaluru experts.
The deceased’s family said on January 9, he had a diarrhea attack, for which he took free sale medications. On January 14, he, along with his family, went to his hometown overlapur.
“He felt better after the medication. He even led to overlap. On January 17, he began to feel weak again. The next day, we admit it to the hospital,” said a relative.
In the hospital, the CA was at the UCI for almost six days before recovering enough to be transferred to the General neighborhood. “However, his condition suddenly slipped and died on Saturday night,” said the relative.
The doctors said the patient was admitted with severe weakness and paralysis. “We immediately manage nerve driving tests and focus on GBS. Consequently, we started protocol treatment. Initially he responded well, but his condition worsened again, characterized by the weakness in the limbs and total paralysis,” said a hospital doctor .
Dr. Sanjeev Thakur, dean of the Faculty of Medicine Vaishampayan de Socapur, said that the cerebrospinal fluid, the nerve tissue and the organs of the GBS victim have been sent for tests. “We are going to carry out fluid tests to look for infections that probably trigger GBS. We should have 7-8 days.”
In Pune’s group, experts have found the bacterium Campylobacter Jejuni and Norovirus in samples.
Dr. Rakhi Mane, head of the Department of Health of the Municipal Corporation, said that a review of patient records showed that the deceased was given a five -day course of immunoglobulin injections.
