This is one of the most common comorbid conditions, which can be treated as an outpatient. The importance of keeping this disease under check is to avoid life-threatening complications like stroke, intracranial bleeding, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Most of the fevers tend to be uncomplicated. But all fevers need to be diagnosed and treated in the early stage to avoid compilation. Some fevers tend to last longer than a week which needs immediate treatment and diagnosis.

    |My name is Simon Bibby. I'm from Japan playing International Chess games. I felt sick three days ago and went to the medical center at the Olympiad. Quickly they identified there was quite a problem, problem, and they noticed that my oxygen levels were dropping in my blood. They called an ambulance. I received oxygen in the ambulance, and I arrived here at Chettinad Super Speciality Hospital very promptly. I've been receiving lots of medical treatments. The hospital has been very welcoming, very efficient, very friendly. I very much appreciate the staff, how well they've received me. So thank you to everybody, to the staff here at the hospital, to the medical center staff at the Olympiad, and to all the administration staff for making everything quite smooth in a strange and difficult situation.
