He returned to the polyclinic on 4 July as he was still having fever and was referred by the polyclinic to the National University Hospital (NUH) emergency department.
He was admitted to NUH's Medical Intensive Care Unit on the same day and was diagnosed with Dengue Shock Syndrome.
The patient's condition improved transiently after dialysis and supportive therapy but he remained critically ill with low blood counts.
