 "Baby Afreen's condition deteriorates, in semi coma")
Bangalore: The condition of three-month-old baby Afreen, allegedly battered by her father for being born a girl, deteriorated slightly today with the child slipping into a semi-comatose state, hospital sources said.
“The baby’s condition has deteriorated slightly. She had two more convulsions yesterday evening,” Resident Medical Superintendent (RMS) Somegowda told PTI.
He said the baby has hurried respiration of 30-40 per minute against the normal 20-25 per minute and also Pathycardia (increased heart rate).
“She is in a semi-comatose state and this is not a good sign,” he said.
The RMS said the hospital would seek an expert opinion from a doctor at NIMHANS.
Doctors say the assault by her father may result in her suffering from other health problems even if she does survive, CNN-IBN reported.
The baby had been admitted to the hospital with a dislocated neck and cigarette marks on her body. She has been on a ventilator.
