Every monsoon season brings a spike in infections. In this episode of Medicine Unmasked, we speak with Dr. Geetesh Mangal, Director of Critical Care at HOPE (E-ICU), about why fevers during the rainy season should never be taken lightly. From leptospirosis to viral fevers with low platelet counts, Dr. Geetesh Mangal sheds light on why monsoon-related illnesses affect children more severely. He explains how ICU teams assess and manage patients admitted with high fever, emphasizing that early and accurate diagnosis can make a critical difference in treatment outcomes. Dr. Mangal also discusses what a drop in platelet count indicates about a patient’s condition and why it should never be ignored. He highlights the vital role of sanitation, hygiene, and vector control in preventing these seasonal diseases and reducing their impact, especially in vulnerable populations like children. Watch now and stay informed this monsoon season.
