Dr. Aashutosh Soniya Reviews

A 3-year-old girl from a remote village presented with persistent high fever and joint swelling, initially misdiagnosed locally as rheumatic fever. Dr. Soniya identified it as Kawasaki disease through meticulous examination and started IVIG treatment within the critical window, preventing coronary complications. The family, though from a low-income background, received financial assistance through hospital programs.

An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family with complex congenital heart disease developed unusual neurological symptoms during recovery from cardiac surgery. Dr. Soniya collaborated with neurologists to diagnose cerebral fat embolism—a rare postoperative complication—and implemented targeted anticoagulation therapy, leading to full neurological recovery over six weeks.

A newborn from a middle-class family was transferred from a smaller clinic with suspected sepsis, but Dr. Soniya noticed subtle skin lesions and diagnosed congenital cutaneous candidiasis—an unusual presentation. With antifungal treatment and family education about hygiene practices, the infant recovered completely without sequelae.

A 12-year-old girl from an urban slum presented with progressive weakness and was initially thought to have Guillain-Barré syndrome. Dr. Soniya identified it as tick paralysis after finding an embedded tick, and simple removal resulted in dramatic improvement within hours, avoiding unnecessary intensive treatments.

A 5-year-old boy from an expatriate family presented with recurrent abdominal pain and was found to have lead poisoning from traditional pottery used at home. Dr. Soniya coordinated chelation therapy while working with public health authorities to address the environmental source, resulting in complete recovery.

A 7-year-old girl from a tribal community with treatment-resistant epilepsy was found to have cerebral cysticercosis through advanced neuroimaging. Dr. Soniya initiated antiparasitic treatment alongside careful seizure management, achieving seizure freedom after three months of therapy.

A 10-year-old diabetic patient from an upper-middle-class family presented with unexplained recurrent hypoglycemia. Dr. Soniya discovered factitious disorder induced by the child's caregiver (Munchausen by proxy) through continuous glucose monitoring and coordinated appropriate psychiatric and child protection services.

A 4-year-old boy from a migrant worker family presented with severe malnutrition and was found to have celiac disease with unusual neurological manifestations. Dr. Soniya implemented a gluten-free diet with nutritional support, showing remarkable improvement in both growth and neurological symptoms over four months.

A 15-year-old athlete from an affluent background developed exercise-induced anaphylaxis—a rare condition. Dr. Soniya created a comprehensive management plan including trigger avoidance, emergency medications, and school education, allowing the teenager to continue modified athletic activities safely.

A 6-month-old infant from a low-income family presented with failure to thrive and was diagnosed with renal tubular acidosis after detecting hypokalemia and metabolic acidosis. Dr. Soniya initiated alkali therapy and electrolyte management, resulting in catch-up growth and developmental milestones within six months.

A 9-year-old boy from a middle-class family developed acute liver failure of unknown origin. Dr. Soniya identified autoimmune hepatitis through specific antibody testing and initiated immunosuppressive therapy, preventing the need for liver transplantation with full hepatic recovery over three months.

A 13-year-old girl from an urban poor family presented with mysterious recurrent fevers and was eventually diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever through genetic testing. Dr. Soniya started colchicine prophylaxis, dramatically reducing attack frequency and improving school attendance.

A 2-year-old toddler from an affluent family ingested button battery and was rushed to emergency. Dr. Soniya coordinated immediate endoscopic removal and managed subsequent esophageal injury with innovative stent placement, preventing long-term complications through careful follow-up over eight weeks.
