B.R. Singh Hospital, Eastern Railway, successfully managed a complex cardiac case under the expert supervision of Dr. Ajay Goutam, Senior Divisional Medical Officer/ In-Charge, Cardiology. The case involved a 52-year-old female patient, a known case of valvular heart disease and post-Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR), who was admitted to the hospital with a persistent febrile illness.
The patient had previously consulted private medical practitioners but showed no significant improvement in her symptoms. Upon admission to the Cardiology Department of B.R. Singh Hospital, a comprehensive evaluation was initiated. An echocardiographic assessment revealed the presence of vegetation on the mitral valve, indicating a case of Infective Endocarditis.
She was immediately started on intravenous antibiotics, which were continued for over three weeks as part of the treatment protocol. Following sustained medical care and close monitoring, the patient became afebrile over the last week.
A review echocardiography conducted on 1st April confirmed the disappearance of the mitral valve vegetation, indicating a successful recovery. The patient is being discharged today after nearly a month-long stay in the hospital.
This case highlights the high level of clinical expertise and dedicated patient care available at B.R. Singh Hospital, which continues to deliver exceptional healthcare services to both railway beneficiaries and the wider community. Goutam, Senior Divisional Medical Officer/ In-Charge, Cardiology.
