7 diseases that can be fatal within 24 hours.
(Baonghean.vn) - Dengue fever, stroke, septic shock, malaria... are diseases that can cause victims to die quickly, within just one day, if not treated promptly.
 |
| A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain or ruptures, cutting off the brain's oxygen supply. In the case of an ischemic stroke, clot-dissolving medications can save lives, but only within 3 hours. |
 |
| Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that causes flu-like symptoms including high fever, severe headache, and joint pain. Complications include severe abdominal pain and uncontrollable vomiting, which can be fatal; patients experiencing these symptoms should go to the hospital as soon as possible. |
 |
| The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, and a particular type of malaria parasite called P. falciparum can be life-threatening because the parasite rapidly destroys red blood cells. |
 |
| Bacterial infections transmitted through the bloodstream can cause a drop in blood pressure – a condition called septic shock… If detected, patients need intensive care, but studies show that only 50% of patients receive care within 6 hours. For every hour after that, the survival rate decreases by 7.6%. |
 |
| This disease is caused by meningococcal bacteria; these bacteria can circulate in the bloodstream, causing rapid organ failure and death. Patients become very weak and can die within 8 hours. This is the most terrifying infectious disease. Vaccination is the best option. |
 |
| This is a complication of type 1 diabetes, occurring when insulin levels are so low that the body breaks down fat into ketones, which accumulate and create acid in the blood. Some symptoms include headache, muscle stiffness, nausea, and rapid breathing; within 24 hours, the patient may fall into a coma or die. |
 |
| This illness is caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with Vibrio cholera bacteria, which can lead to severe diarrhea and dehydration. According to the WHO, it can cause shock and be fatal within hours. |
