The condition of acid attack victim Swapnika, the engineering girl student from Warangal, continues to remain critical, doctors attending on her said today (December 24).
“Swapnika’s condition remains critical. She is having fungal infection and suffering from continuous high temperature,” a senior doctor said.
Dr D Surendra Rao said they were consulting a group of doctors on removing Swapnika’s eyes which have been totally burnt. “We are waiting for her temperature to come down to enable us to remove her eyes,” he said.
A few days ago debridement surgery and skin grafting has been performed on her burnt body parts, but, “We could not carry out skin grafting on all the burnt parts,” he said.
Rao attributed it to non-availability of skin for undertaking skin grafting, adding the raw areas on the body resulted in increased infections.
Swapnika sustained fourth degree burns and the burn injuries had reached up to the bones, he added.
Swapnika and her friend Praneetha suffered serious burns when acid was thrown on them allegedly by three youths at Warangal on December 10. The three youths were subsequently killed in an encounter when they tried to attack policmen in their escape bid.
Meanwhile, TDP MP from Warangal E Dayakar Rao called on the parents of Swapnika today and favoured that she be sent abroad for treatment.
If the government did not come forward, the TDP is ready to bear the expenses for Swapnika’s treatment abroad, he said.
