According to Ustaz Das’ad Latif, the reason he was referred to the hospital was because he complained of frequent shortness of breath.
After being examined, the doctor stated that the cause of the shortness of breath was a drug that was routinely consumed by Ustaz Das’ad Latif.
“There is a drug that is the cause. However, UDL doesn’t feel comfortable mentioning the name of the medicine. Strong medicine, Ustaz?,” he asked.
“No. (I) am still strong,” Ilham said, imitating Ustaz Das’ad Latif’s answer.
“I also deliberately teased him and from his quick response, it has explained his recovery rate,” he explained.
Lung infection experienced by Ustaz Das’ad Latif is known to have originated from fungal spores named Histoplasma capsulatum.
Spores of this fungus are often found in soil or in bird and bat droppings, and can enter the body if we accidentally inhale them through the air.
