stagger: That too.... But in standard settings ...ie developed world...it takes 6 weeks to to a total tox screen. Then again, I don't know the malarial drug he was given, or the dosage....so I can't make a judgement as to whether the malarial drug 'overdose' was responsible for the patient's condition....assuming there WAS an overdose. |

Putting the name doctor near this man's death is quite a pain for me. This is because his death was nothing but a personal negligence to calling for proper treatment. Whether a doctor mistreat the life out of you or not,it is no excuse calling a pharmacist to stand in his stead. Rubbish! 2 Likes |

theoldpretender: U don't need all this long explanation which most people already know..Even auxiliary nurses operating road side chemists know the right dosage of antimalaria drugs, non-medical chaps know that widal test is not a true diagnostic test for typhoid fever..IN THIS CASE TOXICOLOGY TEST IS WHAT IS NEEDED TO ASCERTAIN THIS ASSUMPTION.. 1 Like |

hahn: Shut up there. So he had over dose and was still going about his normal business and even being treated at home by a so-called pharmacist? Use ur archaic brain a little Is that the normal thing to do? It might even be the concoctions the pharmacist was giving him that killed him 3 weeks later. N.B. pharmacists are not doctors and if that pharmacist is caught, he would be arrested and prosecuted for manslaughter. |

GreatMahmud: 1.A toxicology screen...usually looks at various 'poisions' not just the malarial drug.And it takes six weeks to come out. 2.And even then....a high value of malaria drug is not enough to ascertain the cause of death. That's where an autopsy plus a review of the man's last illness comes in . 3,Most malarial drugs don't cause death in overdose. But the problem with the story is...the article does not give us the name of the malarial drug responsible. 4.Plus after the overdose...he was sick for several more weeks. Long enough for the drug to have long since been metabolized to a large extent. Unless someone was giving him the malaria drug on a daily basis. Sadly, the story does not give enough evidence to say the man died of an overdose. For all we know...he may have had a concomitant illness...which was not diagnosed because...the chap didn't go to LUTH on time! |

What do they mean by malaria drug overdose? If they had said he suffered complications from resistant malaria and typhoid, it would have been more believable. |

Hmn. Have you all considered the Politics he was involved in? He was a APC Candidate for a Senatorial office in his State. Maybe he was eliminated spiritually by his Political opponent or even rivals in his Party. Don't join Politics in Nigeria if you are not spiritually strong or fortified May his Soul Rest In Peace. Amen. |

More like antibiotics overdose not anti malaria overdose. Antibiotics when abused can cause death. Chloraphenicol, Ciprofloxacin and others broad spectrum antibiotics can cause death when abused. Infact overdose of Chloraphenicol et al can result in aplastic anaemia which is more like what is described as the deceased symptoms. 1 Like |

He needs autopsy. There is nothing like acute malaria He has been receiving treatment for 2 months. God knows what he has been treating. Whether he went to the hospital on time or not. |

Definitely could not have had 'acute malaria' for over 4wks. Probably had a chronic medical condition. Nigeria is endemic for Malaria, so adults who have lived a long time in this country should have enough immunity to fight the disease without the protozoa causing severe cases of the illness in the person. When you try one hospital and you are not satisfied with the services you receive there, please try another, probably a higher one (in terms of referral system). Finally, an autopsy would have to be done to ascertain true cause of death. May his soul rest in peace! |
