Mangaluru, Sep 7: A 31-year-old man, who should have been enjoying his youth days like other youngsters, is instead fighting for his life.

Prashanth, a resident of Achinadka, Beltangady here, had many dreams for his family. He wanted to get married, and build a house for his family. He was determined to make his dreams a reality through hard work. Unfortunately, luck was not in his favour.

Few weeks ago, one morning, he suddenly felt weakness and breathing problems. His legs started to swell and he could not stand and walk properly. Immediately, his sister, who has already got married, rushed him to Justice K S Hegde Hospital, Deralakatte. After the specialized medical check-up, he was diagnosed with clinical leptospirosis with multi-organ dysfunction, acute renal failure, acute hepatitis and myocarditis, a rare disease that can be fatal unless treated.

Now Prashanth is undergoing specialised treatment in the same hospital. He is in the MICU and breathing with the help of a ventilator. Meanwhile, he is regularly undergoing dialysis. The cost of treatment exceeds approximately Rs 30,000 per day.

Prashanth’s family has already spent over Rs five lac for medical expenses. Now they are unable to afford the hospital expenses. They are under immense pressure. If the required surgeries are not done, Prashanth may have to suffer for life.

The family members are now helplessly watching in dismay as Prashanth’s health is deteriorating with each passing day. They are now seeking financial help from willing donors to provide treatment for Prashanth. They hope his treatment continues and he can lead a normal life again.
