● Experience in Hospital Kuala Lumpur
So what is our experience in Hospital Kuala Lumpur? We performed 4 post-mortem
cases in which, 3 are males and one is a female. Their age ranged from 65 years old to
77 years old; the duration of admission between 7 and 17 days. All the cases had one or
more co-morbid (DM, IHD, HPT, CKD, CAD, cancer). The COVID-19 classification
(disease severity of all 4 cases) at admission ranged between stage 3 and stage 4*.
From the post-mortem findings:
i) we can confirm that deceased person had the reported co-morbid disease(s)
ii) spectrum of pneumonia range from mild to severe pneumonia
*The COVID-19 disease classification is based on MOH Malaysia’s COVID-19
guideline
