Another COVID-19-related death confirmed, fatality count increases to 52

VOV.VN - The Sub-committee for Treatment under the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control on June 5 afternoon announced another death related to COVID-19, the 52 nd fatality in the country to date.

The latest death involves a 35-year-old female patient who had been suffering from colon cancer and lung metastasis. In addition, she had also been undergoing chemotherapy at K Hospital's Tan Trieu facility.

The patient was found to be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus on May 17 and was subsequently transferred to Duc Giang Hospital to undergo intensive treatment, although she still had a high fever and showed signs of progressive respiratory failure.

Following this, the patient was transferred to the Emergency Department of the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases on May 22 to receive additional treatment. Upon arrival at the facility, she was diagnosed with pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, complications relating to progressive respiratory failure, invasive fungal infection typically found in patients with end stage colon cancer, and lung metastasis.

She then received intensive care through mechanical ventilation and was given broad-spectrum antibiotics combined with antifungal drugs.

However, the patient failed to respond to the treatment and died on the night of June 4.

The diagnosis put her death down to septic shock, pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, complications of progressive respiratory failure, invasive fungal infection in end-stage colon cancer, and lung metastasis.
