“33 people have reportedly recovered,” he stressed, Monday, November 27 2023.
However, people are advised to remain vigilant if they have a history of accompanying or comorbid diseases. One death case that occurred previously was known to have complications due to a history of severe comorbidities.
This was revealed in the chronology presented by an internal medicine specialist, Dr. Lie Khie Chen, SpPD-KPTI from RSCM. The mpox case died in stable condition before enough lesions worsened the condition.
“Due to other comorbidities, the patient’s condition, as well as the Mpox infection process, the lesions were quite numerous and severe. This resulted in a complicated condition, meaning that within two weeks of treatment, lung complications arose,” explained Dr. Kie Chen in a recent press conference.
“It’s very difficult, we have tried to overcome the patient’s condition which is very serious and cannot be helped, medical efforts have been carried out and maximized but there are many other comorbidities,” he continued.
