Soft Tissue Infection


This child had severe soft tissue infection in her both legs. The skin lesions were deep and pus filled. Since the child was already malnourished, she was unable to walk .Her parents had to carry her every day to ASSB hospital for the, where the German nurses every day cleaned her wound and applied medicine. The conditions of her legs were better over the two weeks repeated treatment. She had to continue medicine for the next couple of weeks. Her parents were so happy to see their child finally being treated. Since mobarakpur is a very remote village, there was no nearby health facility in 9 kilometer radius, where the mode of transportation is either walking / bicycle/rickshaw van. The little girl’s disease could have been treated in the beginning if she got proper medical attention on time. My special thanks to the German doctors and nurses who did a great job by bringing back smile to that innocent face.
