Kolkata: PG medical student dies of dengue at SSKM Hospital
A post-graduate medical student, identified as Animesh Machi, died on Friday in the SSKM Hospital, where he was a student, after suffering from mosquito-borne disease - dengue- official sources said.
He was put on artificial ventilator support for the past two days after his blood plate dropped in rapidity and died around 0630 hours on Friday.
The PG student of the Orthopaedic department had been admitted after catching fever for the past few days but his health deteriorated for the last 48 hours and was put on artificial ventilation support.
He suffered three cardiac arrests early today before his end came, which cast a shadow among the medical fraternity in the SSKM Hospital.
Last month a 28-year-old medic died of dengue after battling the infection for three days in a south Kolkata hospital.
Ophthalmologist Debadyuti Chatterjee had undergone a kidney transplant in 2013 and developed several co-morbidities, including diabetes. His family has donated his body.
