The disease which even the doctors of the nationally renowned hospital could not catch and kept treating normal TB, was caught and treated by Dr. Abhishek Gupta, a respiratory and chest specialist at the Tantia Hospital (Multi speciality Critical Care Centre), Sriganganagar. The woman, who worked as a labourer to raise her children, is now completely healthy.
Asharani (30), wife of Krishan Lal, who lives in Khuiyansarwer near Abohar, was suffering from a cough. She was taken to a doctor in a hospital at Abohar. He diagnosed TB and gave medicine. When she did not get better even after fifteen days, Krishan Lal again went to the hospital. This time she was referred to a renowned hospital in Bathinda. There also the diagnosis was TB. In this way she remained troubled for almost two months. Finally, someone advised her to visit Tantia Hospital Sriganganagar and she came here.
Dr. Abhishek Gupta examined her. Then, her oxygen level was 60 percent and WBC had reached 31 thousand. Dr. Gupta said that this was a very rare case. This happens only to one in a lakh. In this, operation is required in 99 percent of the cases, but a small incision was made and a tube was inserted and the pus was removed without operation. He said that in such cases, the patient's chance of survival is only one percent but Asha is feeling fine now.
