Immediately some sugar syrup(Syrup of local made sweets,rossogolla) was given to him.He had high fever and admitted to hospital & paracetamol injection was given.Also he had memory loss.We consulted doctor and due to high fever malaria course was given.But temperature was around 101 Fahrenheit.Dengue test was conducted and antigen positve & antibody positive (One of two) was found.He was treated.The platllete count was around 99 thousand.After treatment he was discharged from hospital having Plt count 198 thousand.He had given one fresh full blood. After getting dicharged from hospital on 3-09-11 he had memory loss continued.So a neurologist was consulted .He advised for CT scan.He report indicated he had mild diffuse cerebral atrophy.For last six months or so he was having some memory loss but not so high.What will be the treatment for my father and how to minimize the effect.
cerebral atrophy is an imaging finding and not a diagnosis and doesn't correlate well with any specific problems such as memory dysfunction. as people age certain types of memory dysfunction are considering normal and whether or not a specific person progresses to dysfunction depends on his other medical problems that affect the brain and what his/her natural predisposition to memory problems such as Alzheimer's disease. the treatments as of today consist of controlling comorbidities and mental exercises
