MUMBAI: A mild bout of Covid-19 took a drastic turn for a 36-year-old Kamothe resident who suffered from a brain stroke and is now battling paralysis. Chandrashekar Reddy, father of two and the family’s main breadwinner, is barely able to sit up now after over a month. Doctors say a complete recovery could take more than six months, a second brain surgery and intensive physiotherapy.
Reddy’s case, however, is not rare. Doctors have increasingly been seeing cases of stroke and heart attacks in patients who are recuperating or have recovered from Covid. In the second wave, doctors are particularly seeing a delayed presentation of these complications sometimes up to 2 months after the patient has been discharged from hospital. Worryingly, neurologists say the high incidence of stroke is also seen in patients battling mucormycosis, the invasive fungal disease. The state Covid taskforce has also asked doctors to focus on post-Covid cerebrovascular complications.

MUMBAI: The second coronavirus wave has claimed the lives of several children across city hospitals, particularly in March and April. The proportion of kids in need of hospitalisation and critical care, too, increased at tertiary care hospitals compared with the previous year.
At B Y L Nair Hospital in Mumbai Central, a referral centre for Covid-positive mothers and babies, there have been four deaths till April 30 out of 43 admissions. The hospital had seen four fatalities in all of 2020. Three of the four deaths were in infants while the fourth was an 11-year-old. Only one of them had an underlying health condition while a nine-month-old baby died after developing paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS). Covid claimed five paediatric lives at Parel’s Wadia Hospital between March and April this year as compared to three deaths in 2020. The hospital saw 76 admissions during the first peak in May-June 2020 as against 103 in March-April this year.
