More Vietnam hospitals capable of treating dengue
Within seven days of being treated at Binh Chanh District Hospital’s paediatrics ward, a 13-year boy diagnosed with dengue fever was able to return home, fully recovered, a testament to the hospital’s improved capacity to treat the disease.
Dr To Thi Kim Phung, the ward’s head, said the boy’s weight of 70s kilos made the case more difficult to treat. The boy was admitted with high fever and pain on the right side of the rib due to an extraordinarily large liver.
