Mulu arrived at Gambo Hospital emergency department with severe stiffness.

It was stabilized, resuscitated and initiated intravenous antibiotics after performing lumbar puncture.

Within a few days of treatment, Mulu had not only returned to her normal tone, but was also running around the hospital. The intravenous antibiotic creates a miraculous change in a matter of days; in its absence, she will be dead.
