Dubai: While Obesity is clearly one of the most challenging comorbidities that can complicate a COVID-positive condition, 34-year-old Filipino expatriate Melvin Cabile Masule, weighing 150kg, miraculously fought off the threat after two weeks in intensive care unit (ICU), surprising his doctors and family.
After suffering a heart condition, sepsis, kidney failure and being put on mechanical ventilation for 15 days, Masule, a school teacher, has fought his way out of the crisis and has been happily united with his little daughter and wife.
Testing positive for COVID-19
Masule tested positive for COVID-19 in the second week of December 2020. At first, Masule continued treatment at home with anti-pyretic medication. But after five days, when he started experiencing shortness of breath amidst raging fever and cough, he came to NMC Specialty Hospital Emergency at Al Nahda, Dubai.
