The medical team of Lahore General Hospital (LGH) has saved the life of a five-month-old infant through Pediatric Interventional Bronchoscopy.
The child remained in critical condition for over a month due to severe lung infection and respiratory distress.
Despite the use of expensive antibiotics, the infant’s condition did not improve.
Prof of Pediatric Medicine/Medical Superintendent Dr Faryad Hussain performed a modern Diagnostic Bronchoscopy, which identified a ‘superbug’ known as Klebsiella, which was resistant to standard treatments. This precise diagnosis allowed for targeted therapy, resulting in the child’s rapid recovery and restored breathing.
Amir-ud-Din Medical College (AMC) Principal Prof Farooq Afzal praised the medical team’s expertise in utilising modern technology to fulfil their duty of saving lives in line with Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s vision of making LGH a ‘patient-friendly’ facility.
Dr Faryad Hussain urged parents to only consult qualified doctors and avoid the unnecessary use of antibiotics to prevent the dangerous development of drug-resistant bacteria.
