We are delighted to share the inspiring journey of Shivam Shinde, a brave 5-year-old who was diagnosed with MRSA RIGHT TIBIA OM WITH BACTEREMIA and emerged victorious, thanks to the expert care of Dr. Preeti Ajapujes Infectious Disease Specialist in Pune.
Shivam comes with difficulty in walking, fever, and pus discharge from the right leg— an infection deep within the bone that severely compromises mobility and health if not treated aggressively. Traditional antibiotic therapy alone was insufficient for his condition, and the risk of long-term complications loomed large.
Dr. Ajapuje took a decisive, advanced-medicine approach:
She selected new-age, targeted antibiotics specifically effective against the resistant pathogens involved in bone infections.
Treatment planning was customized for a paediatric patient, with dosing, duration, and monitoring tailored to ensure safety and efficacy.
A multidisciplinary team worked alongside orthopaedic support, imaging specialists, and close infection-monitoring protocols.
Regular assessments of leg function, infection markers, and imaging ensured that the response to treatment was tracked meticulously.
The Outcome
After several weeks of intensive care, dedicated antibiotic therapy, and consistent support:
- The infection cleared, with bone healing progressing well.
- Shivam regained full mobility and is now able to walk and run — reclaiming the joy of childhood!
- No recurrence has been observed — a testament to early detection, expert management, and the right antibiotic strategy.
