On May 1, Hoo Shuwei came down with a high fever and was later admitted to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH).  His liver cells started to deteriorate and after a few days, he was diagnosed with liver failure and his kidneys were also affected.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His kidneys started to fail&#8230;..he was sedated and they (doctors) were worried that the brain will swell. There were signs of swelling but it wasn&#8217;t that serious,&#8221; said Mr Hoo&#8217;s brother, Shuyi Fezz.  In an e-mail reply, SGH said Shuwei&#8217;s condition deteriorated rapidly and he was put on the priority list for transplant.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Unfortunately, he died before a donor was available.  SGH added that the type of virus is still unidentified.  Doctors advise the public to seek immediate treatment if they suffer from a high fever for more than 24 hours without any other symptoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/stories\/singaporelocalnews\/view\/1130150\/1\/.html\" title=\"SOURCE\">SOURCE<\/a><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 22-year-old Singaporean man died after suffering from acute liver failure caused by an unknown virus.
