Koderma doc with no spleen beats Covid

Koderma: A 47-year-old government doctor in Koderma, whose immune system was compromised following the removal of his spleen in 2006, defeated Covid-19 on Saturday.
On Sunday, Dr R Kumar, the deputy superintendent aat sadar hospital, said, “With the removal of the patient’s spleen, which filters the blood stream and helps the body fight infections, his immune system was weak. However, despite that, he recovered and it comes as a great relief for the doctors and the healthcare workers.”
The said doctor, a dentist at sadar hospital and the nodal officer for Covid-19 in the district, tested positive for coronavirus a day after he returned to Koderma from Bihar on July 20.
The visibly relieved doctor said, “Given my poor immune system, I was extremely worried when I came to know that I have coronavirus. However, with the help of doctors and other healthcare staff, I could recover completely.”
Koderma DC Ramesh Gholap said, “His recovery is an example of how dedicated our healthcare workers are and how they are working round-the-clock to cure the patients.”
